16-Port USB 3.0 DisplayPort KVM Switch
The ATEN CS19216 lets administrators manage up to 16 DisplayPort computers from a single keyboard, mouse and monitor. It supports 4K DCI resolution at 4096 x 2160 and 60 Hz refresh rate. Cascading allows control of up to 256 systems, while stacking up to eight units enables an eight-monitor multi-display setup. A built-in USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub provides 5 Gbps peripheral sharing.
Suited for server rooms and multi-head workstations
IT teams who need to consolidate many DisplayPort hosts onto one console will benefit from the push-button, hotkey and OSD switching options. Video DynaSync and EDID Expert technologies maintain resolution and smooth transitions during port changes. The unit includes a rack-mounting kit for standard cabinet installation. Buyers who need more than 16 direct ports or require analog video input should look at other solutions.
4K DCI 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz video support
This resolution and refresh rate is the key specification that determines whether the switch matches the connected sources and display. If the target monitors or computers operate above this limit, the CS19216 will not pass the full signal. Verify that every source and the console display work within 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How long will the USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub and pushbutton switches last before they need replacement?
The USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub is rated for 5 Gbps data transfer and the pushbuttons are designed for repeated daily switching across 16 ports.
What is the first limit reached when running 16 computers through this KVM at 4K DCI 60 Hz all day?
The console supports 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz on a single DisplayPort or HDMI output, so video bandwidth per port is the limiting factor.
How much heat and fan noise does the CS19216 produce when left on continuously in a rack?
The unit is a passive KVM with no internal fan; heat output is minimal and operation is silent during continuous use.
