Black Box 1G DKM FX KVM 8-Port Matrix Switch I/O Module

The Black Box ACXIO8-SM is an eight-port I/O module designed for the DKM FX KVM matrix platform. Once it slides into an open slot inside a DKM FX chassis, it immediately gives the system eight SFP ports, each ready for a CATx, fiber, or direct-attach SFP link. This freedom lets you match the connection type to the distance, bandwidth, and budget of each run without changing hardware.

Every port has dedicated LEDs that confirm power, link, and activity at a glance, so operators in busy control rooms can spot issues before they spread. Because the module is hot-swappable, you can add or replace interface cards during live operation, keeping critical video and peripheral paths available while the network grows.

The ACXIO8-SM is a natural fit in command centers, television production trucks, medical imaging suites, or any environment where multiple workstations must share keyboards, mice, displays, and USB devices with minimal latency. By centralizing eight connections on one card, it cuts down on individual cable runs, helps keep racks organized, and shortens troubleshooting time for IT staff.
