) Modules
includes a variety of TX and RX models, designed to meet almost any data extension
applications. Each module can be used in our stand-alone Q-1300 Chassis or, for more
extensive applications, our two-module Q-2300 chassis or our four-module Q-4300 chassis,
each of which will support any combination of transmitters and receivers.
The Q-4300’s chassis allows up to four hot-swappable interface modules to be used in a variety of
applications, as either transmitters, receivers, or as transceivers. Q-Series KMASS modules support
two-way, unbalanced audio, high speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and low speed USB HID (1.5 Mbps).
Installation possibilities are expanded with built-in support for either multi-mode or single mode fiber,
making this a convenient and cost-effective solution to transmit quality data signals over long
distances. Each module is hot swappable, and in addition, the standard SFP+ optics (with LC
connectors) are hot swappable/pluggable.
Every Q-Series module is fully compatible with Thinklogical’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switch®
product lines.
1.2.1. The Q-Series Chassis
Each Q-Series Chassis provides a framework for mounting, powering, upgrading and
interfacing with a variety of modules that perform the functions of a KVM and video distribution
system. The Q-4300 chassis supports up to 4 modules, features redundant power supplies, an
LCD/button interface and provides convenient upgrade ports for the chassis and modules. Fans
mounted inside the chassis provide cooling and all modules and power supplies are hot swappable.
The chassis may be rack or desktop mounted. Other installable modules include our DVI and SDI lines
of extenders. (See pg. 22 to contact a Thinklogical® sales representative for more details.)
