8-Port USB and PS/2 KVM Switch
This KVM switch provides a single console with keyboard, monitor and mouse access to eight directly connected computers. It ships with four 6-foot USB cables, four 10-foot USB cables and one 6-foot PS/2 cable for immediate deployment. The unit fits a standard 1U rack space and supports Windows, Mac, Linux and Sun platforms.
Video Limited to 2048 x 1536 Resolution
The analog VGA interface caps display output at 2048 by 1536 pixels, so modern 4K or high-refresh-rate monitors cannot run at their native settings. Daisy-chaining two levels expands control to 128 systems, yet the same resolution ceiling applies across every linked unit. Buyers needing higher resolutions or digital video formats should consider a different switch class.
Eight Direct Computer Connections
The defining specification is the eight native computer ports, which can be doubled through cascading to reach 128 managed systems. If your environment requires more than eight directly attached servers without adding intermediate switches, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 6 ft or 10 ft USB KVM cables for my rack layout?
The kit includes four 6 ft and four 10 ft USB KVM cables; use the shorter ones for servers in the same rack and the longer ones for gear in adjacent racks.
What does the 2048 x 1536 resolution mean when I am sitting at the console?
It is the maximum video resolution the switch passes through, so your monitor can display up to that pixel count without scaling or signal loss.
How many computers can I actually control through the USB and PS/2 ports?
The front panel handles eight direct connections, and two-level cascading expands the limit to 128 computers from one keyboard, monitor and mouse.
