8-Port USB VGA KVM Switch

The StarTech.com SV831DUSBU is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch that lets administrators control up to eight USB-connected computers from a single keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor. It is built for server rooms and data centres where space and centralized management are priorities.

VGA resolution ceiling and USB console limits

Video output tops out at 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz, or 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz for widescreen formats, so modern high-refresh or 4K displays cannot be driven at their native resolutions. The console side provides only two USB Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse, leaving no dedicated USB hub ports for peripherals such as storage drives or smart-card readers.

Eight-computer capacity decides fit

The defining specification is the eight-computer limit; if the rack holds more than eight target systems you will need an additional switch or a cascading solution, while environments with fewer than eight servers can use the unit with ports left unused.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 8-port 1U model or a smaller KVM for fewer servers?

This unit manages eight VGA and USB computers from one console in a single rack unit; choose it only if you need all eight ports now or soon.

What does the 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz rating mean when I plug it into my rack servers?

It is the maximum video resolution the switch will pass to your monitor, so any server outputting up to that resolution at 60 Hz will display correctly.

The console side has two USB-A ports — what do they actually connect?

Those two USB-A sockets are for your keyboard and mouse, letting one set control every attached computer through the DB15 KVM cables.
