Direct-access port selectors conveniently located on the front face of the KVM Switch allow for simple, manual port selection.

Cable Management

The designed enclosure offers built-in cable management to contain connected cables. Once the cables have been connected and the shroud slid into place, the cables are conveniently maintained through the back opening.

An LED display is added to the face of the KVM Switch for easy status monitoring. A lit LED indicates which computer the console has control of. The corresponding direct-access port selector is located next to the LED. When pushed, the LED should light next to the direct-access port selector selected.
