OVERVIEW

Easier connections than ever!

There are no bulky KVM cables to deal with— the

ServSwitch

™

CX enables up to four users to connect to the
switch via CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 UTP cable. In addition,
you can mix and match different kinds of servers on the same
CX switch! Just run CATx cables from the switch’s server ports
to the Server Access Modules (SAMs) that connect to your
servers. Simply choose the appropriate SAM for each server
and you’re all set.

What’s more, you can connect the ServSwitch CX to

either a PS/2

®

or USB keyboard and mouse— it includes both

connector types!

To connect a remote PS/2 console to the ServSwitch CX
with IP using CATx cable, order a ServSwitch CX Remote Unit.
Three models are available: Basic, with Audio, and with Audio
Skew Compensation.

Simple server selection.

Whether you’re working at a user station or the local
analog console port in the server room, you can select a
server to access and control via on-screen menus or hotkeys.
On-screen menus make server selection simple because you
can give each server a name that makes sense to you.

Sight and sound support.

The ServSwitch CX provides super-sharp resolutions up to
1900 x 1440 for all users up to 164 feet (50 m) away. And at up
to 984.2 feet (300 m) away, the CX displays 1024 x 1280 video
resolution. By choosing a SAM with audio, you add support
for stereo speakers, enabling you to hear audible alerts.

Take charge with your power.

The ServSwitch CX has a power control port that enables
a remote user to reset one or more power switches in the host
system. Plus, dual power connectors enable the ServSwitch CX
to draw power from its included wallmount adapter or from
an optional redundant power supply if there’s a power
failure.

Ready right now— and for the future.

The ServSwitch CX comes complete with rackmounting
hardware to install the switch in any open 1U of rack space
in your server room. The switch can also be flash upgraded,
so it’s obsolescence-proof.

Cascadable with the ServSwitch CX with IP!

For even greater versatility, you can cascade this switch
with its IP-enabled version, the ServSwitch CX with IP
(KV1416A-R2, KV1424A-R2). For details on these KVM
switches, see Product Data Sheet #26631.
