Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

  • Growth potential.
    Using ServSwitch Duo Switch, 2 users can access 16 servers.

    Get some distance.
    The ServSwitch Duo has a built-in local extender, so if you want to connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse up to 656.1 feet (200 m) away, just order the Receiver (Remote) Module (ACU5011A). The ServSwitch Duo has one RJ-45 port. Both the local and remote ports share server access on a timeout basis.

    Up-front and personal switching.
    On-screen menus make these switches exceptionally easy to use. The menus pop up on demand and make it simple to select a server. Give each server a name that makes sense to you. No software is required on your servers because their names are stored in the switches’ memory. You can also switch between servers via on-screen menus, a three-button mouse, an IntelliMouse, hotkey sequences, or the front-panel push buttons.

    Good in crowds, and very friendly.
    This switch handles large installations, too. Daisychain it to control hundreds of servers!

    Compatibility is no problem either. It supports a wide range of PC-compatible hardware and software platforms, including some high-end IBM® PS/2 compatible computers such as IBM RS/6000®, Compaq®, Alpha®, and SGI®.

    The ServSwitch Duo works with PC/AT serial and PS/2 mice and keyboards. Automatic mouse conversion means it works with all PS/2, IntelliMouse, and RS-232 mice. You can even mix both styles in one installation. Sun compatibility is available using EHN428 for USB and EHN429 for legacy support.

    For connecting remotely to your server room over IP, add the ServSwitch Wizard IP (ACR2004A) (see Related Products) to control PC, Sun, and Mac servers.

    Keep an eye on your servers.
    Monitor all connected servers with autoscan. You can also scan only active servers attached to one chassis or selected servers attached to any chassis in your system. Program your preferred scan rate and view each server at your own pace.

    More good stuff.
    Standard connectors enable the use of ordinary PC cables for close connections of only a few feet. If you want more robust signaling and ease of use, we recommend our economical Control Station Cables.

    The ServSwitch Duo supports PC keyboard modes 1, 2, and 3, making them compatible with all PC/AT® and PS/2® style keyboards.

    Use the on-screen menus to control who can access each server. Set a user's level of access to exclusive use, shared use, or video only.
