With the ability to control up to 16 servers, this switch is specially designed to optimise rack space through rack-mountable construction. Housing a 1U form factor, it's suitable for compact environments where space is limited while still providing a full range of management functions.
The switch supports both USB and PS/2 inputs, allowing for easy connection with a broad range of devices. It facilitates access to multiple servers using a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse, streamlining workflow and improving efficiency. This KVM switch provides two independent user ports so that up to two users can simultaneously access the connected servers, making it highly suitable for multi-user environments.
It integrates seamlessly into an existing setup due to its support for multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX operating systems.

The switch also supports cascading, whereby additional KVM switches can be chained to expand the configuration further, supporting larger server environments.
