8-Port USB/PS2 KVM Switch

The StarTech SV831DUSB is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch that lets one keyboard, mouse and monitor control up to eight computers. It accepts both USB and PS/2 host connections and includes an on-screen display for port selection.

Suited for server rooms needing single-console

Administrators managing multiple servers or desktops from a single rack position will benefit from the auto-scan and hotkey switching features. Environments that require digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or that need more than eight connected systems without cascading, should consider alternative solutions.

Handles eight VGA-attached systems comfortably

The switch supports eight computer ports and one shared VGA monitor connection, with cascade capability to expand further. It operates reliably between 5 and 40 °C and draws power from an included 9 V 0.5 A adapter. Bandwidth limits of the VGA interface may restrict maximum resolution on modern high-density displays.
