PS/2-USB KVM Switch
The CS1708A and CS1716A KVM switches are control units that allow access
to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB console (keyboard, mouse, and
monitor). A single CS1708A or CS1716A can control up to 8 or
16 computers. As many as 31 additional switches
can be daisy-chained to each other, so that up to
256 or 512 computers can all be controlled from a
single keyboard-monitor-mouse console.
Additionally, a front panel USB port is available for
each computer to access any peripherals connected
to it on a one-at-a-time basis.
