16-Port Digital KVM Switch

The Avocent MPU2016DAC-001 is a rack-mountable KVM switch that lets one local operator and two remote users manage up to sixteen servers from a single console. It fits in a 1U space and accepts 100 to 240 V AC power for worldwide deployment.

Installation and Common Issues

The unit connects to each server through 16 RJ-45 ports using Avocent server interface modules, while the local console uses a 15-pin HD-15 video connector and two USB 2.0 Type A ports for keyboard and mouse. Two network RJ-45 ports enable remote access over IP. A frequent issue is mismatched server interface modules, which prevent video or USB signals from passing correctly.

Video Capacity and Limits

The switch supports a maximum local video resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz and a maximum remote resolution of 1680 x 1200. It handles standard SXGA monitors comfortably but cannot drive higher-resolution displays such as 1080p or 4K panels. Remote sessions may exhibit reduced refresh rates or colour depth compared with the local console.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Avocent MPU2016DAC-001 is operating correctly once installed?

Connect a monitor to the 15-pin HD-15 console port, attach keyboard and mouse to the two 4-pin USB 2.0 ports, then verify video displays at 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz while switching across all 16 RJ-45 computer ports.

What ships with the unit and which cables or modules must be purchased separately?

The 1U rack-mount chassis includes dual AC power inputs (100–240 V AC). You must buy Avocent server-interface modules (RJ-45 dongles) for each of the 16 computer ports and a VGA cable for the local console monitor.

Which capacity should I choose if I need to manage exactly sixteen servers with one local and two remote operators?

The MPU2016DAC-001 provides 16 computer ports, supports one local user at the console and two simultaneous remote users over its two network RJ-45 ports, matching that requirement exactly.
