MCCAT Switch
The MCCAT switch provides ports for connecting computers and a set of
keyboard, mouse, and monitor. There are two types of MCCAT switches:
one-user and two-user types. The difference between one-user and
two-user types is that the two-user type additionally provides USB ports for
connecting the USB keyboard and mouse, and an RJ-45 port for
connecting an MCCAT user station.
 ONE-USER type
Only one user can gain access to the "one-user" MCCAT switch and
connected computers at a time.
There are two models: MCCAT18 and MCCAT116.
 TWO-USER type
Two users can gain access to the "two-user" MCCAT switch and
connected computers at a time.
There are two models: MCCAT28 and MCCAT216.
