16-Port KVM Switch for Server Racks
The Avocent MPU1016-001 is a MergePoint Unity digital KVM switch that lets a single operator manage up to sixteen servers from one console. It uses RJ-45 cables to carry keyboard, mouse and video signals from each connected computer, reducing cable count in dense rack environments. The unit is designed for administrators who need direct, hardware-level access to multiple headless systems without relying on network-based remote management tools. It suits data-centre racks, lab rows and branch-office server closets where space and port density matter.
Sustained Operation at 1280 x 1024 75 Hz
Video output remains stable at 1280 x 1024 resolution and 75 Hz refresh across all sixteen ports during extended switching sessions. The digital architecture avoids the signal degradation that can appear on analogue multi-port switches after hours of continuous use. Dual redundant AC inputs at 110 V and 220 V keep the switch powered through mains fluctuations, so the console stays active even when one feed fails. No fan noise or thermal throttling is specified, indicating passive cooling suited to quiet server rooms.
Check Rack Depth and Console Cabling
Verify that your rack provides enough depth for the 17 x 13.38 x 1.72 inch chassis and that the 8.10 lb weight is within the shelf or rail rating. The console side requires a single 15-pin HD-15 video cable and two USB 2.0 ports for keyboard and mouse, so confirm your monitor and peripherals match those connectors. Each server needs an RJ-45 KVM dongle or cable assembly compatible with the MergePoint Unity platform; standard Ethernet patch cords will not carry the required keyboard, mouse and video signals.

Questions about this item
How much heat and noise does the MPU1016-001 produce when running 24/7 at 110 V AC or 220 V AC?
The unit draws standard AC power at 110 V or 220 V and fits in a 1U rack space of 17 x 13.38 x 1.72 inches, so heat and fan noise stay typical for a 16-port KVM of this size.
Which cables or dongles must I already own to connect 16 servers to the 16 RJ-45 Keyboard/Mouse/Video ports?
Each server needs an Avocent-compatible KVM dongle that plugs into its keyboard, mouse and video ports and terminates in an RJ-45 connector for the switch.
Will my older 15-pin HD-15 VGA monitor and USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse work at the console port?
Yes — the console side provides one 15-pin HD-15 video port and two USB 2.0 ports, supporting 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz for legacy VGA displays and standard USB peripherals.
