KH1508A/KH1516A

8/16-port Cat 5 High-Density KVM Switch

The KH1508A and KH1516A KVM switches are control units that allow IT administrators to access and control

multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). Operators can take

control of up to 8 (KH1508A), or 16 (KH1516A), computers. By daisy chaining up to 31 additional switches, as many

as 512 computers can be controlled from the original KVM console.

These switches have been designed with unique and powerful features that enable administrators to manage their

entire server room and data center devices easily and conveniently.

For example, the advanced Adapter ID feature stores the Adapter Cable's configuration information – such as its

ID, port name, OS, keyboard language, etc. This feature allows administrators to relocate servers to different ports

without having to reconfigure the adapters . Other advances found with these switches includes enhanced video

quality – extending the distance to the servers to up to 50 m* at a resolution of 1280 x 1024.

A KH1508A or KH1516A installation provides one of the best, and most economical, solutions ATEN offers to the

SMB market. There is no better way to save time, space, and money than with a KH1508A or KH1516A KVM

switch.
