Black Box KV0416A-R2 16-Port ServSwitch CX CATx KVM Switch

This switch is designed for versatile deployment, supporting a local console for immediate rack-side management while providing a dedicated port for a remote user located up to 300 meters away via a CATx integrated receiver. It features multi-platform compatibility, allowing IT administrators to manage a heterogeneous mix of Windows, Mac, Sun, and Linux systems through a single interface. The KV0416A-R2 utilizes Server Access Modules (SAMs) to provide “keep-alive” functionality, ensuring servers remain active and bootable even if the KVM loses power or cables are disconnected. With its 1U form factor and robust On-Screen Display (OSD), it provides a scalable solution for organizations needing reliable, long-distance server access without the complexity of IP-based overhead.
