DIGITUS DS-55348 — 4K/60Hz HDMI and keyboard/mouse over fibre
4K/60HzKVM (USB)Up to 40 kmSFP slot
The DIGITUS HDMI Fiber KVM IP Extender Set 4K/60Hz (part DS-55348) is a transmitter and receiver that carry HDMI video, audio, USB keyboard/mouse and RS-232 over fibre optic cable — up to 40 km on single-mode or 300 m on multimode — for control rooms, industrial sites and campuses where a PC must be operated far from its user.
Each unit has an SFP slot for LC or SC modules, so you choose the fibre type. The signal is H.265-compressed over IP, which also allows point-to-multipoint (up to 253 receivers) and cascading over 1G switches. A local HDMI loop-out on the transmitter keeps a monitor at the source.
Before you order: SFP modules are not included and the set will not work without them. Add two DIGITUS DN-81002 (LC single-mode) or DN-81000 (LC multimode), matched to your fibre.
What's in the Box
- Transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX)
- 2 × EU power supplies (5 V / 2 A, 1.2 m)
- USB cable (1.2 m)
- Wall-mount brackets and screws
- 2 × RS-232 terminal blocks
- 2 × earthing screws
- Manual
What It Means in Practice
- Leave the PC in the server room and work at the far end with keyboard, mouse and a 4K/60Hz screen.
- Pick SFP modules by distance: single-mode for kilometres, multimode for up to 300 m inside a building.
- Use the HDMI loop-out at the transmitter for a local monitor next to the PC.
- RS-232 pass-through and 3.5 mm audio travel with the picture; multipoint lets one source reach many screens.
What Will Not Work
- No SFP modules in the box — order them separately.
- No IR pass-through.
- USB is 1.1 for keyboard and mouse only — not for USB drives, webcams or other high-speed devices.
- Compressed signal with 80–140 ms latency — not for fast gaming or latency-critical control.
- HDMI cables to source and display should be at most 5 m; indoor and dry use only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which SFP modules do I need?
Two modules matching your fibre: DIGITUS DN-81002 for single-mode (LC) or DN-81000 for multimode (LC).
Can I connect several displays?
Yes, point-to-multipoint up to 253 receivers over a 1G network.
What is the difference to DS-55350?
DS-55348 adds USB keyboard/mouse (KVM) but has no IR; DS-55350 has IR but no KVM.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
DS-55348 is the right tool when the PC must stay in a secure or harsh location and the operator sits far away. Plan the fibre and SFPs first; for longer or multipoint installs, 1G switches extend the network — see our
switches.
✓ Buy it if you need 4K/60Hz HDMI plus keyboard/mouse control over fibre, up to kilometres away.
✕ Skip it if you need IR control, zero latency or USB for more than keyboard and mouse.
→ Also consider DS-55350 (IR, no KVM) or the copper DS-55522 HDBaseT KVM set for runs up to 150 m.
