16-Port Cat5 KVM Switch with IP Remote Access

This 1U rack-mount KVM switch controls up to 16 servers locally or over the network. It supports one local user and two simultaneous remote users for independent access. Cat5 cabling connects servers up to 100 ft from the switch. The unit accepts universal AC input from 100 V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz.

Cat5 Cabling Distance and Video Resolution Limits

Connected servers must sit within 100 ft of the switch when using Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a cables. The video output is limited to 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60 Hz. Each server requires a compatible Server Interface Unit (USB or PS/2) to link to the RJ45 ports. Virtual media transfer rates reach 12 Mbps only with the USB2 interface module.

2+1 Simultaneous User Capacity

The defining specification is the ability to host three independent users at once: one at the local console and two over IP. Buyers who need more than two concurrent remote sessions cannot use this switch. Serial ports are included for managing devices such as PDUs and routers alongside the servers.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16-port model or a smaller version?

This unit provides 16 RJ45 computer connections in a 1U rack footprint. If you need to manage more than 16 servers you would cascade additional switches; if fewer, the same hardware still works with unused ports.

What does the 1920 x 1080 resolution mean when I am controlling a server remotely?

The switch passes Full HD video at up to 60 Hz over the IP session, so the remote console displays the server's output at native 1920 x 1080 without scaling artefacts.

How far can I run the Cat5 cables between the switch and the Server Interface Units?

Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a cables support server distances up to 100 ft from the KVM switch while maintaining the rated video resolution.
