Additional Product Features – LCD KVM Drawer and Switch with Cat5/6 ports
• 16 or 32 Cat5/6 RJ45 KVM switch device ports which provide low-level keyboard, video and
mouse connectivity to equipment within a rack. KVM Switches with Cat5/6 ports use
standard Cat5/6 UTP cabling with RJ45 connectors and dongles to connect computers,
which allow computers to be located much farther from the switch, up to 132 feet (40
meters) away. Dongles (P/N 37208-103 or 37208-104) are purchased separately.
• Buttons on the keyboard tray that allow easy switching between computer ports. LED
indicators on the keyboard tray to show if the computers are connected and powered on and
which port is selected. Users can also switch between ports using an intuitive on-screen
display menu or using keyboard hot keys.
• Access to the computers using the integrated LCD KVM Drawer. Access to the switch can
be password protected for eight user accounts.
• A remote console connection that provides access from a separate computer located
nearby. The remote console attaches to the switch using standard Cat5/6 UTP cabling with
RJ45 connectors which allows the computer to be located up to 500 feet (150 meters) away
from the switch.
• An optional IP connection that provides remote management capability for one user over a
10/100 TCP/IP network. Users access equipment through a Java-compatible web browser,
like Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, using a password protected logon and switch
between computers using an intuitive on-screen menu. Supports fifteen user accounts.
• An expansion connection that allows up to eight switches to (cascade) be connected
together providing access to 128 or 256 computers from the LCD KVM Drawer, the remote
console or the IP connection(s). KVM Switches with Cat5/6 ports use a proprietary cascade
cable (P/N 37208-165) to connect together. No device ports are used. KVM Switches with
Cat 5/6 ports will not connect to KVM Switches with DB15 ports.
