DS1800 KVM Switch


The DS1800 KVM over IP switch is an 8-port system that provides digital remote access and control of multi-platform and multi-location servers - all from one monitor screen.

The DS1800 KVM switching system leverages the power of your existing network infrastructure by using industry-standard CAT 5 Ethernet connections to transmit KVM signals, rather than relying on proprietary KVM cabling.

And, for you history buffs, the Avocent DS1800 appliance was the world's first KVM over IP switching system.
