3.2 Typical Applications
3.2.1 KV0081A or KV0161A
The SAMs work with the ServSwitch CX Uno, 8-Port (KV0081A), or ServSwitch CX Uno, 16-Port (KV0161A). They provide high-
end, multiplatform KVM switching over CATx with remote access. Place the remote console up to 984.3 feet (300 m) away. The
ServSwitch supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz (when used at distances less than 328 feet [100 m]), and reads DDC
EDID from the display to avoid plug-and-play issues.

access and control 24 multiplatform servers via CATx cable. The switch can support up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and can switch
via on-screen menus. This ServSwitch is ideal for small and mid-size data centers.
