Rose MEB-4U2V (4-Port Dual-Head Extended Matrix KVM Switch / CATx / $799.00) Review
Rose MEB-4U2V 4-port dual-head extended matrix KVM switch CATx
Scales Rose's extended dual-head matrix architecture to four computers, giving control rooms with remote racks the same 500ft CATx reach as the MEM-2U2V but with double the source capacity.
Four Systems, Remote Console
The MEB-4U2V is aimed at control rooms that need both extension distance and more than two source systems — the natural upgrade path once a two-port extended matrix switch runs out of ports.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the MEM-2U2V, it doubles port count for a $200 premium, worthwhile once a facility needs more than two extended sources. Against Rose's own MPC-8U2V later in this catalog, the MEB-4U2V is the mid-tier option between 2-port and 8-port extended matrix switching.
