The KH2508A KVM switch is a control unit that allows IT administrators to
access and control multiple computers from two PS/2 or USB KVM consoles (one
bus). Operators working at up to two consoles can independently and
simultaneously take control of up to 8 computers. By daisy chaining up to 15
additional switches, as many as 128 computers can be controlled from the
original KVM consoles.
These switches have been designed with unique and powerful features that
enable administrators to manage their entire server room and data center devices
easily and conveniently.

configuration information such as its ID, port name, OS, keyboard language, etc.
This feature allows administrators to relocate servers to different ports
without having to reconfigure theadapters .Another advantage found in these switches is Full HD
video quality extending the distance to the servers to up to 30 m at a
resolution of 1920 x 1200 *.
A KH2508A installation provides one of the best, and most economical,
