T

he ServSwitch™ Wizard

to be placed on desktops and to
look great there. But it’s not just

can even be synchronized to
support CPUs with multiple

it with VELCRO

®

strips, so you can

stick it on the wall!

In addition, we offer Wizard
and Wizard LP models in kits (add
“-K” to the product codes). They
include all the premium KVM user
cables and keyboard and mouse
port adapters you’ll need.

The ServSwitch Wizard PRO
(SW644A, SW648A) can be placed
in a 19" rack with its Rackmount
Kit (RMK19WP). Even if you put it

Advanced KVM switching for a variety
