The KH1516 is a KVM that allows access to sixteen directly connected computers, and through a daisy chain connection, an additional 31 KVMs to control a total of 512 computers from a single console (mouse, keyboard, and monitor). For a clean and simple high density cable management solution, the KH1516 uses an RJ45 connection on the KVM side and Cat 5 cable to connect to an adapter that, in turn, connects to the servers. Adapters are available for connecting to PS2, USB (PC and MAC), Sun USB, Legacy Sun, and Serial Devices. The KVM / adapter arrangement intercepts and interprets mouse and keyboard signals, there by eliminating the need to install any software on your servers, and giving the KH1516 the ability to work with practically any operating system in any type of server environment. Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) provides video resolutions of 1280 x1024@ 60Hz up to 130 feet (40 meters), and for resolution of 1600 x 1200@ 60Hz up to 100 feet ( 30 meters )
