8-Port HDMI DisplayPort KVM Kit
The IOGEAR GCS1808HDPKITU is an 8-port KVM switch that lets one HDMI monitor, keyboard, mouse and two USB 2.0 devices control up to eight computers. It accepts both HDMI and DisplayPort sources using the included adapters and supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz. The kit ships with all required cables and a power adapter for immediate deployment.
Server rooms and multi-system workstations
This unit suits administrators who need to manage eight servers or workstations from a single console without adding extra displays or input devices. Buyers who require 4K or higher video resolutions, more than two shared USB peripherals, or HDMI 2.1 features should look at a different class of switch. The maximum supported resolution is 1080p and 1920 x 1200.
Rack-mountable with pre-made cable sets
Installation is straightforward: the switch fits a standard 1U rack space and the package includes eight 6 ft USB HDMI KVM cable sets plus DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters. Common issues include exceeding the 1920 x 1200 resolution limit, which causes no signal, and forgetting to connect the external 5.0V power adapter, which leaves the unit unresponsive.

Questions about this item
What cables and adapters must I already have to connect eight computers to the GCS1808HDPKITU?
The kit ships with eight DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters and eight 6 ft USB-HDMI KVM cable sets, so no extra video or USB cables are required for eight computers.
Will my legacy PS/2 keyboard and mouse work through the console USB Type-A ports on this switch?
The console provides USB Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse; PS/2 peripherals would need a separate PS/2-to-USB adapter not included in the kit.
How can I verify the switch is delivering 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz after setup?
Open the on-screen display or check your operating system's display settings; both will report the active resolution and refresh rate being passed through the HDMI console port.
