APC KVM0108A 2G KVM Switch is a high‑performance, rack‑mountable keyboard‑video‑mouse (KVM) switch designed to streamline control of up to eight computers from a single console. Its compact 1U form factor and robust build make it an ideal solution for data centers, server rooms, and professional workstations where space efficiency and reliability are paramount.
Key Features
Eight Independent Ports: The switch provides eight separate VGA (D‑Sub) connections, each capable of delivering a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. This ensures crisp, high‑definition display output for all connected systems.
Dual PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Ports: Each console includes two PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse input. The device supports standard PS/2 devices, offering a straightforward plug‑and‑play experience without the need for additional adapters.
USB 2.0 Connectivity: Two USB 2.0 ports are available for peripheral sharing or direct connection to the console. This allows users to access USB devices such as external storage or network adapters across all connected computers.
RS‑232 Console Port: An RS‑232 serial port is included for console management, enabling remote configuration and troubleshooting via traditional serial connections.
LED Indicators: Each port features LED status indicators that provide immediate visual feedback on connection status, active input, and power conditions. These LEDs help administrators quickly identify issues without needing to access each individual machine.
Design & Build Quality
The APC KVM0108A is engineered with a black chassis that blends seamlessly into professional environments. Its dimensions—424 mm width, 188 mm depth, and 43 mm height—allow it to fit comfortably within standard rack units while maintaining a low profile.
Weight: The unit itself weighs 2.4 kg, with the packaged product at 3.9 kg. This lightweight design facilitates easy installation and relocation within server racks or workstations.
Environmental & Compliance Standards
The switch is built to operate reliably across a wide range of environmental conditions:
- Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C
- Storage Temperature: –20 °C to 60 °C
- Relative Humidity (Operating): 0 % to 80 %
- Relative Humidity (Storage): 0 % to 80 %
It complies with numerous international safety and environmental certifications, including C‑UL Listed, C‑tick, CE, FCC Part 15 Class A, GOST, ICES‑003, UL‑AR, UL 60950‑1, VCCI Class A, and VDE REACH. Additionally, the product meets RoHS compliance, ensuring it contains no hazardous substances.
Installation & Rack Mounting
The APC KVM0108A is designed for rack mounting, supporting a standard 1U rack height. Its depth of 188 mm allows it to fit within most rack configurations without requiring additional space or modifications. The unit’s robust construction and secure mounting hardware provide stability during operation, even in high‑traffic data center environments.
User Experience & Management
Administrators can switch control between the eight connected computers with a simple button press on the console panel. The device’s intuitive interface eliminates the need for complex software or drivers, making it accessible to users of all technical levels.
The inclusion of LED indicators and an RS‑232 console port further enhances manageability by offering real‑time status updates and remote configuration capabilities. These features are particularly valuable in environments where rapid troubleshooting and minimal downtime are critical.
