The 40-KVM-8 is a multi-platform Keyboard/Video/Mouse switch. The 40-KVM-8 offers 8 ports, but is expandable up to 64 ports with additional KVM switches. The switch is a 2-user system that will allow 2 users to access the device and all attached systems at the same time. A Category-5 cable can be attached for remote use of the 40-KVM-8.

The slim designed (1 RU – Rack Unit =1.75") 40-KVM-8 has an emergency backup power solution. It does require its own power cables to function properly. However, should power be cut off, it can also draw power through the systems it is connected to. SharkRack offers a host of platform-specific cables to connect to heterogeneous systems in a computer cabinet.
