Easy Installation
Setting up an ALTUSEN High-Density KVM Switch is fast and easy. All you have to do is simply plug the cables
into their appropriate ports. And because the switch intercepts keyboard and mouse input directly, there is no
software to congure; no need to get involved in complex installation routines; no need to be concerned with
incompatibility problems.
Simple Space-saving Cabling
With Cat 5e/6 cable oering complete KVM connectivity in one slim cable, an ALTUSEN Cat 5 High-Density KVM
Switch installation reduces cable bulk while the unit itself comes in 1U-high housing for convenient rack mounting.
Long-distance Transmission
The Cat 5 High-Density KVM Switches feature RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5e/6 cable to link to the computers.
Combined with Signal Compensation, 1280 x 1024 signals can travel up to 40 m (130 ft) – eliminating the need for
KVM extenders.
Multiplatform Support
Utilizing KVM Adapter Cables for the final linkup, ALTUSEN Cat 5 High-Density KVM Switches permit any
combination of PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation.
Convenient Management Features
Access to any computer on the installation is easily accomplished – either by pressing the port selection
pushbuttons located on the unit’s front panel, entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard; or by means of a
powerful menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) system. A convenient Auto Scan function also permits automatic
scanning and one-by-one monitoring of the activities of selected computers.
Aordable, Expandable
An ALTUSEN High-Density KVM Switch installation is affordable right now, yet will allow you to protect your
original investment and your future. You can start out small and then can easily add additional units as your
business grows. When your installation is ready to expand, simply daisy-chain or cascade additional switches.
Dedicated Expansion Ports
KH1508 / KH1516 features dedicated chain ports so you can daisy-chain up to 31 additional for a maximum
centralized control of 512 systems from your original console. KH2508 / KH2516 features dedicated dual RJ-45
cascade ports, allowing you expand KVM installations without the need for extra KVM cables.
Non-blocked Access
*
Both consoles connected to the master switch have simultaneous access to any computer on the same level and
also have independent access to any computer in the installation.
