Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of PS/2 KVM switches for legacy server environments?
PS/2 connections are universal on older servers and workstations, avoiding the need for USB adapters. PS/2 KVM switches are also generally more reliable for systems where USB support is questionable or absent.
Can I use this PS/2 KVM with modern USB keyboards and mice?
No, PS/2 KVM switches require native PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections. If your peripherals are USB-only, you would need USB-to-PS/2 adapters or a USB-based KVM switch instead.
How does switching between 8 computers without video lag?
Modern KVM switches instantly switch video, keyboard, and mouse signals when you select a new computer via hot-key or button press. There is typically minimal delay, usually unnoticeable to users.
Is this KVM suitable for controlling servers in a rack, or mainly workstations?
This compact 1U KVM is ideal for server labs and rackmount environments where space is limited and multiple servers need centralized console control. It works equally well with workstations.
What's the benefit of rackmount versus standalone KVM switches?
1U rackmount KVM switches fit into rack cabinets, keeping console equipment organized and co-located with servers, reducing cable runs and improving workspace efficiency.
