EKS Dual-Video CAT-5 KVM Switches

8- and 16-port, dual-video CAT-5 KVM switches 

with 150 foot CAT-5 server connectivity 

EKS is an enterprise-class rack-mountable,1U sized KVM switch featuring KVM over CAT-5 technology that directly connects the switch to 8 or 16 dual-video-head computers in the server room, eliminating cable clutter and providing up to 150 feet of distance between each connected server and the KVM switch.

EKS supports servers with a wide array of video interfaces, including HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA, along with stereo digital audio up to 150 feet.

EKS uses three convenient adapters (CAT-5 dongles purchased separately - see listing below) for HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA video connections, offering broad compatibility and flexible server management. A dongle is required for each connected video-head.
