Virtual Media Server Module
The Vertiv Avocent DSAVIQ-USB2 is a virtual media server interface module designed for use with DSR and AutoView KVM switches. It provides the necessary connection for VGA video and USB 2.0 signals between the target server and the switch. This dongle is intended for IT administrators managing server infrastructure through KVM-over-IP or local console solutions.
Replaces Legacy Dongle Models
This module replaces the DSRIQ-PS2, DSRIQ-PS2L, AVRIQ-PS2 and AVRIQ-PS2L dongles, allowing existing deployments to upgrade or maintain compatibility with current Avocent switch hardware. It works alongside the DSAVIQ-USB2L, DSAVIQ-PS2M and DSRIQ-VMC modules to support virtual media functionality. The change simplifies cable management by consolidating the connection into a single unit.
Short Fixed Cable for Rack Density
A 14in cable is permanently attached to the module, reducing clutter in dense rack environments where longer cables would obstruct airflow or adjacent ports. The USB 2.0 connector plugs directly into the server front or rear panel without requiring an extension. Build quality is focused on reliable signal integrity for virtual media redirection tasks in data centre operations.

Questions about this item
Will the 14in USB 2.0 cable need replacing if it frays near the connector?
The 14in cable is permanently attached to the dongle, so any damage means replacing the whole module.
What limits virtual-media throughput when the module runs continuously?
The USB 2.0 interface sets the maximum sustained transfer rate for virtual-media sessions.
Does the dongle generate noticeable heat or fan noise during all-day operation?
The module has no active cooling and draws minimal power, so it runs silently and stays cool to the touch.
