8 / 10 Expert Rating

A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup.

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable, modern 8-port Cat5 IP KVM switch with virtual media and simultaneous local/remote access, a solid mid-tier data center choice.
