Overview

The CS-64U Petite USB KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to four computer systems from a single console (keyboard, monitor, mouse and audio). Before the development of the CS-64U, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the CS-64U, you can easily access four computers in a cost effective manner.

The CS-64U improves on previous models by transferring keyboard and mouse data to the computers via the faster, more reliable USB bus rather than the traditional PS/2 connection. Additionally, its incredibly small desktop footprint and molded-in custom KVM cables provide a hassle-free installation and a neat and tidy workspace.

Recognizing the benefit of sound in the computing environment, the CS-64U provides USB multimedia keyboard support, and is speaker enabled. You can independently listen to the audio output of any of the computers (one-at-a-time) with a single set of speakers regardless of where the KVM switch focus is at.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibility problems. Since the CS-64U intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems. KVM focus is toggled between the computers by means of simple Hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a CS-64U USB Mini-KVM Switch installation. By allowing a single console to manage all of your computers, the CS-64U eliminates the expense of purchasing a seperate keyboard, monitor, mouse and speakers for each. Additionally, it saves the extra space they would take up, and eliminates the inconvenience of constantly having to move from one computer to the other.
