Eight-port KVM with PS/2 and VGA

The Avocent 10080SC-AM is an eight-port KVM switch that lets one keyboard, mouse and monitor control up to eight computers. It uses 25-pin D-Sub cables for the computer links and PS/2 plus HD-15 connectors for the console. The unit supports VGA, SVGA and Multi-Sync displays at 1280 x 1024 resolution.

Secure desktop or rack access

It suits administrators who need isolated switching between secure and non-secure networks from a single desk or rack position. Separate I/O processors and automatic keyboard-buffer clearing prevent data leakage between ports. Buyers who need USB console ports, digital video inputs or higher resolutions should consider other models.

1280 x 1024 maximum video resolution

The highest supported resolution is 1280 x 1024, so the switch fits legacy VGA and SVGA environments but cannot drive modern high-definition panels. Confirm that every connected system and the shared monitor operate within this limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum video resolution the 8-port Avocent 10080SC-AM can sustain continuously?

The switch supports up to 1280 x 1024 resolution on the single console monitor port.

How much heat or fan noise does the 1U rack unit produce during all-day operation?

The 1.7-inch high chassis has no fan; it relies on passive cooling and draws minimal power, so heat and noise stay very low.

Which cables must I already have to connect eight computers to the DB-25 ports?

You need eight Avocent proprietary cables, each with a 25-pin D-Sub connector on the switch side and PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and HD-15 VGA plugs on the computer side.
