A rock-solid, reliable KVM switch for mission-critical datacenter environments.

StarTech.com’s SV1632DS is the reliable solution for server room and industrial computer environments. The SV1632DS is a reliable computer management tool that allows you to control multiple computers from one source, minimizing downtime by making connected computers and input devices available as soon as they are attached. An all-metal, 2U chassis provides SV1632DS with a rugged and durable body that adds to the unit’s reliability and dependability. This reliability is continued in the 30 series of StarView KVM switches with an industry-leading 3-year limited warranty.

The dual console feature of the SV1632DS allows the KVM to be controlled from either of 2 user consoles (one or the other not both simultaneously). This provides flexibility when used with rackmount cabinets, allowing an internal and external control console or in any situation where having 2 access points is beneficial.

The SV1632DS is designed to work with Dell, Compaq, IBM and HP servers, all PC notebook computers, and Compaq Alpha systems, ensuring a smooth and reliable operating experience. Connected systems are quickly switched between using fast-switch buttons. An On-Screen Display (OSD) feature allows PC selection from an on-screen menu of user-defined computer names. This switch’s built in OSD security keeps unwanted users out. Its low cost, super small size, and high 1920x1440 resolution display capability make this switch perfect for any application where reliability, compatibility, and faultless operation are important.
Note: This product is designed to work in a "cascaded" configuration as a master KVM with non dual-user slave units attached.
