The  KM0216 2-user, 16-port Matrix KVM Switch offers advanced control of servers, yet is flexible enough for various other applications. The ATEN KM0216 allows two users to directly control 16 computers simultaneously and independently. A maximum of 30 users and 1920 computers can be connected through a combination of daisy chaining and cascading. The RJ-45 CPU connections and Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) allow signals to travel up to 480 feet (150 meters) away and still maintain video resolutions; the need for KVM extenders is eliminated. All 16 ports are placed in a 1U-high case, which saves expensive real estate in an IT environment. This switch allows any type of console to control any type of computer, whether it is USB or PS/2. The users on the master KVM can access any computer, whether it is connected directly or through daisy chain/cascading. Users on local KVMs can access any computer connected to the local KVM, whether it is connected directly or through daisy chain/cascading. ATEN KM0216 16-Port Matrix also has many other great KVM features such as Hot Keys, OSD, 3-level password security, hot pluggability, life firmware upgrade, keyboard and mouse emulation, "Keep Alive" feature, AutoScan, etc. It also supports multiple platforms (PC, Mac, Sun) through the use of CAT5 to PS/2, and CAT5 to USB adapters.
