16-port KVM over IP switch

The Vertiv AV3216-400 provides remote keyboard, video and mouse control for up to sixteen servers through a single network connection. It suits data-centre operators who need out-of-band access to heterogeneous hardware from any location.

Rackmount chassis with VGA cabling

The unit mounts in a standard rack and ships with integrated VGA cables for direct server attachment. This cabling reduces cable clutter at the rear of the cabinet and simplifies day-to-day port identification during maintenance windows.

Replaces local rack consoles

It removes the need for a dedicated monitor, keyboard and mouse at each rack row. The upgrade is worthwhile when staff must manage servers across multiple rooms or sites without travelling to each physical console.
