APC KVM0116A 16-port KVM switch 1600 x 1200

16-Port Analog KVM Switch

The APC KVM0116A is a rack-mountable analog switch that lets a single keyboard, monitor and mouse control up to sixteen connected computers. It supports UXGA video resolution of 1600 x 1200 and includes USB support for modern peripherals. One local user console is supported, making it suited for server-room administrators who need direct, hardware-level access to multiple systems without network dependency.

Rack-Mount Integration

The unit fits a standard 1U rack space measuring 1.7 inches high, 16.7 inches wide and 7.4 inches deep, weighing 5.28 lb. Sixteen RJ-45 ports accept server connection cables while a single VGA port, two USB ports and two PS/2 ports provide the local console interface. This layout consolidates cable runs at the rack and frees desk space by removing the need for separate keyboards, monitors and mice at each server.

Upgrade From Smaller Switches

The sixteen-port capacity replaces cascaded smaller KVM units or multiple standalone console setups, reducing rack clutter and eliminating the latency and configuration overhead of daisy-chained analog switches. The jump is worth it when the number of managed servers exceeds the port count of an existing eight-port or four-port switch and a single local console must address all targets directly.
