The console occupies 1.70 inches of vertical rack space and includes mounting rails, M5 cage nuts and screws for installation. Sixteen VGA KVM cables are supplied, each carrying video, USB and PS/2 signals to the connected computers. International power cords for five regions are provided, allowing the 100-240 V AC supply to be used worldwide. Two USB 2.0 and two PS/2 ports on the console accept local keyboard and mouse input.

Questions about this item

Will the 17-inch TFT LCD panel overheat during continuous 24-hour operation?

The unit is rated for 0°C to 40°C ambient temperature and consumes 23W, so typical rack airflow keeps it within limits.

Does the console draw more than 1.5 A at 100 V AC when all 16 ports are active?

Maximum input current is specified as 1.5 A across the 100-240 V range, covering full 16-port use.

Must I supply my own VGA cables to connect the 16 servers, or are they included?

The package includes 16 KVM cables, so no additional VGA cables are required for the 16 connections.
