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.

    ServSwitch EC for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 or USB Consoles, 4-Port


    Quick Facts

  • Cascade up to 16 servers with this simple plug-and-play KVM switch.
  • Resolution up to 1920 x 1440.
  • Perfect for entry-level data centers.

  • Further Details

  • Choose the console mode by sliding a switch on the back panel.
  • Save rack space—only 1U high!
  • Supports Microsoft® IntelliMouse® (Pro).
  • Operating system independent and transparent to all applications.
  • Switch manually or use Autoscan, which selects servers sequentially.
  • Assign unique names to servers.
  • Save and store keyboard settings while switching.
  • Hot-pluggable keyboard/mouse ports.
  • Password protected.
  • Plug-and-play configuration.
  • DDC2B compatible.

  • Use a USB console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) to control PS/2® and/or USB servers with the ServSwitch EC for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 or USB Consoles, 4-Port.

    Expand your system.
    Switch between four servers from a single console. To expand your switching platform to include additional servers, simply cascade units in a master-slave configuration to control up to 16 servers. The ServSwitch EC is plug-and-play, so you can add or subtract servers almost as quickly as you can plug and unplug cables.

    Eight-port and 16-port models are also available, as are other models for PS/2 and/or USB switching; see the "Similar Products" tab for details.

    Tight quarters.
    Ideal for applications where you have a limited amount of space, the 1U-high ServSwitch EC can be used on the desktop or mounted in a rack or cabinet.

    To save more space, the keyboard, monitor, and mouse circuitry is concentrated in a single HD15 connector at the server end. This way, you have fewer cables to install when making server connections.

    Very switchable.
    A simple yet well-designed on-screen display makes these switches very easy to use for managing server connections. You can assign 14-character server names that make sense to you.

    Switch between servers using front-panel buttons or hotkeys. Or you can let the switch do it automatically with its Autoscan function. The ServSwitch EC will scan and switch between servers, one by one, at an interval that you determine. When Autoscan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until activity stops, and then resumes with the next computer in sequence.

    Set it and forget it.
    System settings and name entries are stored in nonvolatile memory so you don’t have to worry about a power outage wiping out your information. The ServSwitch EC also saves your keyboard settings for each server and restores them when you come back to that machine.

    Check it.
    The front panel includes port LEDs, which light with the corresponding active port when you switch between servers. You can also use the on-screen display to view the connection status on each port and lock servers from unauthorized users.

    Digital quality.
    With video enhancement technology that ensures superb quality and resolutions up to 1920 x 1440, the ServSwitch EC is DDC2B compatible, so it can be used with the latest digital monitors. What’s more, the switch is operating-system independent and transparent to all applications.

    NOTE: When cascading multiple units, the master must have the same number as or more ports than the slave. The ServSwitch EC for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 or USB Consoles, 4-Port can also be cascaded with PS/2 only models (KV9004A, KV9008A, and KV9016A). To order these, see the "Similar Products" tab.
