The Black Box KV0081A is a high-end, 8-port Catx KVM switch designed for multiplatform environments where reliable, high-performance access to multiple computers is critical. This unit facilitates direct, secure control over servers and workstations from a single console, reducing clutter and improving operational efficiency in control rooms, data centers, or broadcast facilities. Its Catx extension capability allows for flexible placement of user consoles up to 300 meters from the connected equipment.
This KVM switch is engineered for broad multiplatform support, accommodating various operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is designed to interface with standard USB keyboards and mice, and supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz over its Catx connections, making it suitable for a wide range of server and workstation configurations. Specific compatibility details for connected computers should be verified against the Catx extender pair used.
Installation requires standard Catx cabling (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6) for extending KVM signals between the switch and remote consoles. Ensure proper termination of network cables for optimal signal integrity and performance. The unit requires a standard power supply (sold separately or included with the extender pair) and appropriate rack mounting hardware if not placed on a shelf.
