Reclaim precious space while you boost productivity

If your small to midsize server room or data center is getting too cluttered, consolidate your
equipment with a Raritan MasterConsole CAT Cat5 KVM switch, which provides one or two
users centralized control from a single work station. Individual models control up to 8 or 16
servers, and switches can be cascaded to control up to 256 servers at distances of up to
150 ft.

Our MasterConsole CAT switch:



Works with every leading server – Microsoft

2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista®, Novell®NetWare®, UNIX®,
Linux®, Mac®and Sun



Saves you space and allows easier cabling with Cat5/6 cabling. IT administrators have

the choice of either a) using the industry’s first and only fixed-length Cat5 MCUTP
cable with integrated computer interface module (CIM) to connect to servers within
20 feet, or b) using CIMs to connect to servers up to 150 feet away



With the two-user MasterConsole CAT unit, the second user can be located up to 100 ft
(30m) away from the KVM switch, enabling “lights out” access to the server room

With these features and more, MasterConsole CAT is the ideal solution for maintenance,
administration, running GUI applications, troubleshooting – even rebooting your mission­critical servers.
