Eight-Port KVM Switch for Multi-System Control

The Black Box ServSwitch SW0802A-R2 connects eight computers to a single keyboard, monitor and mouse setup. It supports a maximum video resolution of 1600 x 1280 for clear display output across all attached systems. The unit operates on AC 120/230 V power at 50/60 Hz and fits standard rack environments. Wired connectivity ensures stable switching without wireless latency.

Suited for Server Rooms and Legacy Serial Management

This switch targets administrators who manage multiple servers or headless devices through a single console. The DB-25 and RJ-12 connectors serve equipment that relies on RS-232 serial links rather than modern USB or IP-based KVM. Buyers who need USB peripheral sharing, on-screen display menus or remote IP access should look at other models because this unit provides none of those functions.

RS-232 Serial Interface with DB-25 and RJ-12 Ports

The defining specification is the RS-232 interface presented through 25-pin D-Sub and RJ-12 connectors. This determines which computers and serial devices can be attached directly without adapters. If your rack gear uses USB, PS/2 or network-based KVM protocols, this switch will not connect to them. Verify that every target system exposes an RS-232 console port matching these connector types before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does the SW0802A-R2 draw when all eight ports are active all day?

The unit runs on AC 120/230 V at 50/60 Hz; no separate power-consumption figure is published.

Which cables must I already have to connect eight computers to the DB-25 and RJ-12 ports?

You need eight sets of keyboard, video and mouse cables that terminate in 25-pin D-Sub and RJ-12 connectors matching the switch ports.

Will the 1600 x 1280 maximum resolution work with older VGA-era servers I still use?

Yes, the switch supports up to 1600 x 1280, so legacy VGA sources at or below that resolution will display correctly.
