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.

    • Our ServSwitch™ EC for PS/2 Servers and Consoles is the perfect—and practical—way to manage multiple PS/2 servers and consoles where usable space is at a premium. Take a look at what this series has to offer!

    Multiply.
    If you set up these units in a cascade configuration, you can rapidly expand and contract system capabilities as your demands change. Cascade up to 64 servers with the 8-port model. Best of all, this ServSwitch EC is plug-and-play, so you can add or subtract servers almost as quickly as you can plug and unplug cables.

    Simplify.
    A simple yet well-designed on-screen display makes these units very easy to use. You can choose names for each server that make sense to you and for your application. Then, you can identify and select each server with those same naming conventions.

    You can monitor the status of each server and use the programmable autoscan function to select your servers sequentially. And you don’t waste time—the autoscan feature filters unused servers from the list automatically so you don’t have to deal with unnecessary information.

    System settings and name entries are stored in nonvolatile memory so you don’t have to worry about a sudden power surge or shutdown wiping out your information.

    The ServSwitch EC also saves your keyboard settings for each server and restores them when you come back to that particular machine.

    Quantify.
    Most of all, this ServSwitch provides tangible results when it comes to network management.

    You save space by eliminating the need for monitors, keyboards, and mice for each server you have. Likewise, you lose the significant costs associated those kinds of redundant purchases.

    Most importantly, you increase control and efficiency by centralizing the management of multiple servers with the same or different platforms—and with network management, that’s the real bottom line.

    NOTE: Master units can only cascade to slave units that have the same or fewer number of ports.
