NODEMUX^® ST-4X16-UHD Matrix High Density KVM Switch (Front & Back)

Features & Applications

The NODEMUX® SUN PC Multi-Platform Matrix KVM Switch enables up to eight users to individually command or simultaneously share up to 32 computers.

This low-cost switch accesses PC and SUN computers (and USB computers with NTI adapters). PC or SUN keyboards and mice can be connected by using adapter cables.

Equipped with On Screen Display (OSD), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and RS232 control.
Rackmount is standard on all NODEMUX ST-nXm-U models. The smaller models are also available in a desktop case (denoted by a "DT" in part number).

Users can power-down the switch without rebooting attached computers.
Dedicated microprocessors prevent CPUs from locking up, ensuring reliable control.
The advanced OSD user interface with password security makes the NODEMUX Matrix switch simple and reliable to use in Enterprise data centers.
Use as a single or multi-platform switch.
Users can work individually or share one computer.
The High Density Switches save you rack space (look for "HD" at the end of the part number.) Cabling runs are simplified with NTI's high density KVM switch cables.
- Includes cable management shelf.
