8-Port USB KVM Switch Kit

The StarTech SV831DUSBUK is a complete 1U rackmount KVM switch kit that lets one operator control eight VGA-enabled computers from a single USB keyboard, mouse and monitor. It is built for server rooms and equipment cabinets where space is limited and reliable local management is required. The package includes all eight USB VGA cables so the system is ready to deploy immediately.

Thermal Range and Passive Operation

The unit operates passively within a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) and up to 80% relative humidity, adding no fan noise to the rack environment. Its rugged all-metal chassis dissipates heat without active cooling, keeping acoustic output at zero during normal use. Power draw is limited to the console USB connection and the switching circuitry, so no external power supply is needed for typical installations.

Included Cables and OSD Control

Eight 6-foot USB VGA KVM cables are bundled, eliminating the need to source separate interconnects for each server. The on-screen display provides secure port naming and selection alongside push-button and hot-key switching methods. USB keyboard and mouse combo or wireless sets are supported through the single console USB connection, simplifying peripheral management at the rack.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 1U rackmount chassis and connect the eight 6 ft USB VGA KVM cables without bending them too sharply?

Secure the metal chassis in a standard 19-inch rack using the included brackets, then route each 6 ft cable from the rear VGA and USB ports to the target servers, leaving enough slack to avoid kinks tighter than the cable's minimum bend radius.

Which parts will need replacement first if I run the switch continuously at the upper end of the 5°C to 40°C operating range?

The power supply and cooling fan inside the sealed metal chassis are the components most likely to wear out first under sustained high-temperature operation.

At what point does the 1920 x 1440 video path become the limiting factor during extended multi-server sessions?

The VGA analog signal degrades over long cable runs, so the 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz limit is reached first when cable length or quality reduces bandwidth below what the resolution requires.
