Server Management
The APC AP5201 is an 8-port analog KVM switch that lets administrators control up to eight servers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. It uses D-Sub and PS/2 connectors for all computer links. The unit is designed for rack-mount installation in standard server environments.
Who It Suits
This switch suits operators who manage multiple legacy or current servers through analog video and PS/2 peripherals. Hotkey and on-screen-display selection provides quick port switching without extra software. Buyers who need digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or who require USB peripheral support, should look at a different class of KVM.
Key Specification
Eight computer ports and one monitor port define the maximum number of servers that can be accessed simultaneously from one console. The switch supports daisy-chaining with auto-sensing of station positions for larger deployments. Operating limits are 0°C to 50°C and 0 to 85% humidity.
