Two-port DVI KVM for dual-system control

The Avocent SC620-001 lets one keyboard, mouse and monitor command two computers through dual-link DVI-I and USB connections. It supports a maximum video resolution of 2560 x 1600 for sharp desktop work. The unit draws power from a 100 V AC to 240 V AC supply. Its compact 1.9 x 10.4 x 7.3 inch chassis weighs 3.2 lbs.

Replaces juggling two sets of peripherals

Switching eliminates the need for separate keyboards, mice and displays on a crowded desk. The jump is worth it when you regularly move between two towers or a tower and a laptop dock. It does not help setups that need simultaneous multi-monitor output or more than two connected hosts.

Handles dual-link DVI at 2560 x 1600

The single console port drives one high-resolution panel comfortably for office applications, coding or monitoring tasks. Headroom runs out if you require 4K60, high refresh rates, HDMI or DisplayPort signalling. The two USB Type-A ports serve keyboard and mouse only; they do not pass through storage or other USB devices.

Questions about this item

What are the dimensions of the SC620-001 so I can check if it fits my rack shelf?

The unit measures 1.9 inches high by 10.4 inches wide by 7.3 inches deep and weighs 3.2 lbs.

How do I connect the two computers and avoid the common mistake of swapping the console and PC cables?

Plug each computer into the two DVI-I dual-link and USB ports marked for PC connections; the single DVI-I and two USB Type-A ports on the other side go to your monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Will the internal power supply need replacement after a few years of continuous use?

The built-in 100 to 240 V AC supply is designed for continuous operation and has no user-replaceable parts; no routine maintenance is required.
