HP J1473A 4-Port KVM Switch

This HP J1473A KVM switch lets a single operator control up to four servers or workstations from one console. It fits standard rackmount environments and uses PS/2 and VGA connections for keyboard, mouse and video. Daisy-chain support allows the system to scale beyond the initial four ports when more machines must be managed.

Maximum video resolution 1600 x 1200

The switch delivers a maximum video resolution of 1600 x 1200 in UXGA graphic mode, which determines whether legacy servers or modern displays can be driven correctly. Console cables are limited to a maximum operating distance of 15 ft, so the operator station must remain within that range of the switch. A single RJ-45 network port is provided for remote management access.

Suits administrators managing legacy PS/2

This unit suits administrators who need to manage up to four legacy servers equipped with PS/2 keyboards, mice and VGA video within a 15 ft console distance. It does not suit buyers who need USB or digital video interfaces such as DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort, nor operators who require console distances longer than 15 ft.
