SmartAVI FDX-2000S (DVI-D KVM Extender Pair / Discontinued / $1,899.00) Review
The SmartAVI FDX-2000S is the full discontinued transmitter-and-receiver pair, extending DVI-D video, USB and stereo audio up to 300 ft over dual Cat5e/6 for $1,899.00.
Buying the matched FDX-2000S pair is the sane way to get this hardware if you don't already own half of it, but at $1,899.00 for discontinued gear we'd point most buyers toward a currently-shipping extender like the NTI ST-C5KVM-300 instead unless SmartAVI compatibility with an existing fleet matters.
One Box, Two Halves, One Purchase
The FDX-2000S bundles the FDX-TX2000S transmitter and FDX-RX2000S receiver together, so buyers get a matched, tested pair instead of separately sourcing each half — the way most people should approach this hardware if they don't already own one side.
Full Retail Price for End-of-Life Hardware
At $1,899.00, the pair costs roughly what current-generation Cat5 KVM extenders with better support run for, but without an active manufacturer behind it. It only makes financial sense if you're deploying multiple identical rooms and need consistent, matched hardware.
Comparison to Alternatives
The NTI XTENDEX ST-C5KVM-300 covers similar Cat5-based video extension with current manufacturer support at a lower price. Rose's CRK-1P1V is a PS/2-only alternative for older legacy hardware that doesn't map to USB peripherals at all, so it's not a like-for-like swap.

A complete, matched extender pair — reasonable if you need SmartAVI-specific compatibility, otherwise a discontinued product priced like a current one.
Best for
- Multi-room deployments needing several matched, identical SmartAVI extender pairs
- Facilities already standardized on SmartAVI FDX hardware
- Buyers replacing an entire failed pair rather than one half
Not for
- First-time KVM extension buyers with no brand preference
- Anyone prioritizing manufacturer support and long-term availability
- Extension runs beyond 300 ft over Cat5e/6
