Sixteen-port USB and PS/2 KVM for rack cabinets
The IOGEAR GCS1716KIT is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch that lets one VGA monitor, keyboard and mouse control up to sixteen servers or workstations. It ships with six 2-metre and six 3-metre USB cables plus two 2-metre and two 3-metre PS/2 cables so mixed-interface fleets can be connected immediately. Multi-platform support covers Windows, Mac, Sun Solaris and Linux without extra drivers.
Replaces smaller KVMs when port count exceeds eight
Moving from an eight-port unit to this sixteen-port model removes the need for a second switch and the extra console cables that come with it. The jump is worth it when a single rack row grows past eight machines and you want one on-screen display to reach every system. Cascading two levels extends the limit to two hundred fifty-six computers if the estate expands further.
Steady operation from zero to fifty degrees Celsius
The switch draws 2.4 amps at 5.3 volts DC and is rated for continuous use in environments up to 50 °C with humidity up to 80 percent non-condensing. Video stays stable at 2048 x 1536 resolution through the single console port during long monitoring sessions. Front-panel LEDs, hot-key sequences and the OSD all respond without latency while auto-scan cycles through ports at intervals from one to two hundred fifty-five seconds.

Questions about this item
How much rack space does the 17-inch wide GCS1716KIT require?
The unit measures 17 inches wide by 1.75 inches high by 6.25 inches deep, fitting a standard 1U rack opening with the included mounting kit.
Which cables do I connect first to avoid a blank OSD on the SPHD-18 console port?
Attach the console monitor, keyboard and mouse to the SPHD-18 male connector and the USB 1.1 Type A female port, then connect each computer to the 16 SPHD-15 female ports using the supplied 2 m or 3 m USB or PS/2 cables before applying 5.3 V DC power.
When should I replace the supplied G2L5202U or G2L5203P cables?
Replace any cable if its SPHD-15 or SPHD-18 connectors develop bent pins, the jacket shows cuts, or video degrades above the 2048 x 1536 DDC2B limit during AutoScan intervals of 1 to 255 seconds.
