Eight-computer VGA KVM

This Ksin 8-port VGA KVM switch lets one operator control up to eight computers using a single VGA monitor and four USB 2.0 peripherals. It is built for server rooms, offices, labs and security desks where rack-mount access to multiple legacy or mixed-OS systems is required. Eight combined VGA-and-USB cables ship in the box for immediate deployment.

Passive switching thermal profile

The unit contains no active cooling and draws only the small amount of power needed for LED indicators and the IR receiver, so it adds no audible noise or measurable heat to the rack. Switching is handled by the front-panel buttons, the wired desktop controller or the IR remote without any software overhead. Power consumption stays negligible during continuous operation.

Maximum 1920 x 1440 VGA resolution

Video output tops out at 1920 by 1440 or 1920 by 1080 over analogue VGA, with backward compatibility for lower modes. Buyers who need digital video, higher resolutions or audio switching should look at a different class of KVM.

Questions about this item

How do I install the eight VGA-and-USB cables so every computer connects correctly?

Connect each of the eight supplied 2-in-1 cables to a computer's VGA port and USB 2.0 port, then plug the other ends into the switch's eight computer ports; the step people miss is matching cable one to port one, cable two to port two, and so on.

What maintenance will the IR remote need over time?

The IR remote uses a replaceable button cell; swap it when the range drops or the LED stops flashing.

What limit appears first when I run eight 1920 by 1080 sources continuously?

The switch's maximum supported resolution is 1920 by 1440 or 1920 by 1080; sustained use at that ceiling can cause signal degradation before any thermal limit is reached.
