16-port dual-console KVM switch

The ATEN KH2516A is a CAT5 KVM switch that lets two operators independently manage up to 16 servers from separate USB or PS/2 consoles. Daisy-chaining supports expansion to 512 computers using up to 31 additional units. Video output reaches 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

Ideal for dual-operator server rooms

Suits environments where two administrators need simultaneous, independent access to the same rack of servers. Not suitable for setups requiring only a single console, digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or resolutions beyond 1600 x 1200.

16 direct RJ-45 server ports

Each server connects via a single RJ-45 CAT5 link carrying keyboard, mouse and video signals. The switch provides exactly 16 such ports; additional servers require daisy-chained expansion units.
