CAT5 KVM Switches Provides Better Resolution and Longer Distance Access

KVM Switch is highly suitable in conditions where the user needs to access multiple computers/servers from distant locations. If you are willing to buy a new  KVM Switch, these points will help you in getting the right one.

1.) KVM Switches are available in multiple types and sizes such as DVI KVM Switch, CAT5 KVM Switch, KVM Matrix Switcher, so choose wisely the best one as per your requirements.
2.) Few of the kvm switches support audio, so you may have to check to verify that the one you selected has audio support.
3.) 1600X1200 at 60Hz over IP is the maximum resolution that could be provided by the switch, though higher resolution could be achieved via analog switches.
4.) CAT5 KVM Switch reduces the cable clutter and provides cluster free wire environment.
5.) CAT5 KVM Switch supports longer distances of up to 40m between the server and the switcher.

KVM Switches are Cascadable and Support Multiple Operating Systems

CAT5 KVM Switch has made it easier to connect multiple systems via Cat5 cabling. KVM Switch makes it possible to connect and control multiple computers using a single kvm set. It gives the user the ability to access various systems up to a distance of 40 meters away from a server. Cascading can be done to connect larger number of servers to achieve greater control.

These kvm switches are compatible with Cat5/Cat5e and Cat6 cables and comes with 12, 24 and 48 volt DC power options. KVM over cat5 switchers maintains a resolution of 1600 x 1200 and delivers high quality images. Most of the kvm switches are compatible with major operating systems making it more useful and platform independent device, Windows Vista/2003/XP/2000, Linux, Netware and UNIX operating systems.
DVI KVM switches are another highly used switches which are becoming popular amongst network administrators as it allows them maintain security and control the servers from any location.

DVI KVM Switches Supports Multi Platform and Video Resolution

DVI KVM Switch is a new technology and it makes use of Digital Video Interface (DVI) for video connection. DVI KVM Switches support video resolution up to 1600X1200. DVI KVM switches works on plug and play functionality and have built in a rugged metal enclosure, these dvi kvm switches are available both in PS2 as well as USB versions.

These kvm switches maintains highest quality DVI Single Link Resolution and supports Windows, Mac, Linux and Sun Platforms. This kvm switch type makes provides noiseless operation at remote stations. DVI KVM Switches are built to be used in tough working conditions and could be stored in temperature of -4 to 185F (-20 to 85C) and it works fine with operating temperature ranging between 32 to 131 F (0 to 55 C).

Multiple Servers Easier to Monitor and Control via KVM Switch

Its easier to monitor and control multiple computers/servers using a single KVM Switch. Efficient integration of kvm switches in your organization can make it easier for you to monitor large pool of servers from a single location using a single KVM set.
A kvm switch can save you money, time, equipment and power and it can also give network administrators the flexibility to remotely manage machines in the network. A single KVM Switch allows to control 2 – 32 machines, depending on the port size of the kvm switch you are using. KVM Switches can also be easily cascaded to control greater number of servers.

KVM Switches can be used with Windows Vista/2003/XP/2000, Linux and UNIX operating systems. CAT5 KVM Switch supports VGA video resolution up to 1600 x 1200, these kvm over cat5 switches are available in 8 port, 16 port and 32 port sizes.
DVI KVM Switch also works on plug and play fundamentals, and can be controlled via RS232, IR remote control or front panel push buttons.
