The CS1308 is also expandable and allows 8 more switches to be cascaded to enable centralized management of up to 64 PCs via one KVM console.
One Console Cable, Two Connection Options
CS1308 offers two types of console KVM cables in different lengths for selection, allowing connection to either PS/2 or USB keyboard/mouse to flexibly accommodate installation requirements.
Smooth Cross-Platform Integration
The CS1308 enables the integration of different computer systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, and Sun) that are accessible from one KVM console.
The CS1308 KVM switch allows access and control up to 64 computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). As many as 8 additional switches can be cascaded bringing the total number of connected computers to 64 computers that can be controlled from a single KVM console.
