The Raritan MasterConsole CAT Cat5 KVM is the perfect solution for consolidating your equipment if your small- to midsize server room or data center is getting too cluttered. Individual models control up to eight or 16 servers, and switches can be cascaded to control up to 256 servers at distances of up to 150 feet.

Our MasterConsole CAT Switch:

– Works with every leading server (Microsoft Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Novell NetWare, UNIX and Linux)
– Uses Cat5/6 cables, saving you space and allowing easier cabling

MasterConsole CAT provides bulletproof reliability and performance including a dedicated, intelligent processor at each port so each connected server "sees" its own keyboard and mouse, a unique "keep-alive" design which ensures nonstop server operation in case of power loss to the switch and the support of high-resolution video – up to 1600 x 1200. In combination with leading-edge technology and scalability such as server selection from the front panel channel buttons and by name from pop-up, on-screen menus, the MasterConsole CAT is designed for flexibility.
