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.

    4 x 1 Compact VGA Switch


    Quick Facts

  • Control via an RS-232 control device (serial cable is included).

    • The 4 x 1 Compact VGA Switch from Black Box goes much farther than ordinary video switches in both the distance and resolution it supports.

    This solid-state, electronic switch not only uses boosters to drive VGA video signals up to 150 feet (45.7 m), it also offers a crisp resolution of up to 1600 x 1200.

    Use the switch, for instance, in a conference room where four laptop users can take turns projecting their screen images onto a single big-screen VGA monitor seen by all. It’s also useful anywhere you need to use fewer monitors for displaying video sources.

    Control switching via an attached RS-232 device, or set it up to scan between VGA inputs at certain time intervals or display VGA inputs based on their priority. You can also blank output from one source or switch manually.

    What’s included:
  • 2 x 1 Compact VGA Switch
  • Serial cable
  • User’s manual
