HPC Systems offer a wide range of KVM solutions to meet your business needs. Solutions available are
- Standard coax KVM
- Cat5 KVM
- KVM over IP
Standard Coax KVM:
Standard Coax KVM provides complete and reliable control for any mix of 2 to 256 computers. Ideal for network server management, hardware/software testing and systems integration, PC production Q/A and burn-in testing, and multiple workstations access and operation.
Standard coaxial cables are available in lengths up to 30 feet.
Cascading units can support computers up to 300 feet away.
CAT4 KVM:
The difference between Standard Coax KVM and CAT5 KVM is how the computers are connected. Cat5 KVM switches use Cat5 (Ethernet) cabling instead of 3-in-1 coax KVM cables. There is a simple conversion is needed from the target computers’ peripheral ports to a Cat5 or RJ-45 connection. This conversion is made possible by a small dongle that attaches to the target computers peripheral ports.
Once the dongle is connected to the computer, a Cat5 cable is linked from the dongle to one RJ-45 computer port on the back of the Cat5 KVM switch. Single-user Cat 5 KVM switches allow the local user to plug directly into the Cat5 KVM switch with a standard keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
KVM Over IP:
KVM over IP switches also utilize Cat5 dongles to connect the servers/devices to the switch, but can be accessed in-band over the network infrastructure. Depending on the KVM over IP solution, access on the remote end will require client software or an internet browser session.
