Eight-port USB and PS/2 KVM switch
The IOGEAR GCS1808DPKITU lets one keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor control up to eight computers with USB or PS/2 ports. A kit of cables and DisplayPort-to-VGA adapters is included so every connection is ready out of the box. Server rooms and labs that need to consolidate multiple workstations onto a single console are the target users.
Sustained operation with cascade support
The switch draws DC 5.3V at 2.4A and maintains a stable VGA signal at 2048x1536 through DDC2B emulation across all eight ports. Cascading two levels expands control to 128 computers without degrading video quality or input response during long monitoring sessions. Auto-scan and broadcast modes keep working continuously for unattended oversight.
Rackmount installation with cable management
The 1.75-inch high chassis fits a standard 1U rack space and weighs 5.60 lbs, so it secures with four screws and does not sag. Eight pre-cut cables at 6 ft and 10 ft lengths reduce slack, while colour-coded SPHD connectors prevent cross-wiring between USB and PS/2 systems. Missing a specific cable length for a distant node is the most common oversight.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the GCS1808DPKITU produce when running continuously?
The unit draws 5.3V at 2.4A from its external power adapter and has no internal fan, so it runs silently with minimal heat output during all‑day operation.
What cables or adapters must I already own to connect eight computers to this KVM?
The kit already supplies four 6‑ft USB cables, four 10‑ft USB cables, one 6‑ft PS/2 cable and eight DisplayPort‑to‑VGA adapters, so no extra cables are required for eight computers.
Will my older PS/2 keyboard and mouse work with the SPHD‑18 console port on this switch?
Yes, the console port accepts both USB and PS/2 peripherals, so legacy PS/2 keyboards and mice can be used directly with the included cabling.
