Introduction

The AKVM-2A switch is a 2-port PS/2 type KVM switch with audio support that comes with two sets of built-in 1.5M cables. It enables users to access, control, boot, and reboot two computers using only one keyboard, video monitor, mouse, microphone, and speakers. Its one- piece design offers more portability and convenience to users than conventional KVM switches.
