Master Switch Rack

Rack master switches for KVM allow controlling multiple servers or workstations from a single console, with configurations from 8 to 16 ports and support for combo USB/PS2 interfaces, VGA, HDMI, and Cat5e/6 for remote control over long distances. They also include integrated rack consoles with LCD display and dedicated adapter cables for connecting devices.

The choice of KVM switch should be evaluated based on the number of servers to manage, the type of video interface required, and the need for daisy-chain to expand the number of ports managed from a single console. The brands Aten and Intellinet cover solutions for both compact server rooms and installations with numerous workstations.
