16-port KVM switch for server racks
The Avocent MPU2016-001 is a rack-mountable digital KVM switch that lets one operator control up to sixteen servers from a single console. It uses RJ-45 cabling for the computer links and provides one HD-15 video port plus two USB 2.0 ports for the local keyboard, mouse and monitor. The unit is built for data-centre administrators who need dense, centralised management.
Sustained operation on dual-voltage power
The switch runs continuously from either 110 V AC or 220 V AC mains without an external adapter, so it stays powered through long maintenance windows and overnight batch jobs. Its 1 U height and 1.72-inch depth fit standard racks while leaving airflow unobstructed. Eight-pin RJ-45 connections carry keyboard, mouse and video signals over structured cabling that resists signal loss across the full rack row.
1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz console limit
The local console is restricted to a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, so administrators who require higher-definition displays for detailed graphical work will find the output insufficient. Buyers needing 1080p or 4K console video should evaluate alternative KVM platforms that support those modes.
