8-Port VGA KVM Switch with Cables
The IOGEAR GCS1808KITU is an 8-port KVM switch that lets one keyboard, monitor and mouse control up to eight computers. It supports both USB and PS/2 host connections and includes eight USB KVM cables, four at six feet and four at ten feet. The unit delivers a maximum video resolution of 2048 x 1536 with DDC2B support. It is rack-mountable in a 1U form factor and operates from a DC 5.3 V, 2.4 A supply.
Suited for multi-system admins.
This switch suits administrators who manage multiple legacy or mixed-interface servers from a single console and want hotkey, OSD or front-panel button selection with auto-scan intervals from 1 to 255 seconds. It is not for buyers who require digital video inputs such as DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort, nor for setups that need audio switching or virtual-media support. The single USB console port also limits use to one local user at a time.
Maximum video resolution 2048 x 1536
The deciding specification is the maximum supported video resolution of 2048 x 1536 over VGA. If your target systems output higher resolutions or use only digital video interfaces, this switch will not display them correctly. Verify that every connected computer can run at or below this resolution before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the GCS1808KITU add to a rack when it runs all day at its 5.3V 2.4A rating?
It operates between 0°C and 50°C with a 5.3 V, 2.4 A power supply, so the unit stays within normal rack temperatures during continuous use.
Which cables and console peripherals must I already have to connect eight computers to this switch?
The kit includes eight USB KVM cables (four 6 ft and four 10 ft), so you only need a VGA monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse for the console side.
Will the 2048 x 1536 DDC2B video pass-through work with older PS/2-only servers I want to keep?
Yes, the switch supports both USB and PS/2 computers and handles 2048 x 1536 resolution through DDC2B, so legacy PS/2 servers connect without adapters.
