Apc KVM1116R Kvm Switch 2G Digital Ip

Product Description

The APC KVM1116R is a second-generation digital KVM switch designed for remote server and device management over IP networks. KVM stands for Keyboard, Video, and Mouse, and this unit allows IT administrators to access and control connected servers from a single remote interface without requiring physical presence at the rack. The digital IP architecture supports out-of-band access, meaning servers can be managed even when the operating system is unresponsive. This unit is sold individually and is typically installed and managed by licensed IT professionals or data center technicians.

The KVM1116R is suited for data center, server room, and network closet environments where centralized remote management of multiple servers is required. It fits rack-mounted deployments and is appropriate for both small server clusters and larger enterprise environments that require reliable, low-latency remote KVM access. The 2G digital platform provides improved performance and interface capabilities over first-generation KVM solutions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified IT technician or data center professional familiar with rack cabling and network configuration.
