The Avocent DSR2020-001 is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch designed for remote server management in data center and enterprise environments. This 16-port unit supports PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections with Cat5 cabling for extended distance console access, enabling one local operator and up to eight simultaneous IP-based users to control attached servers. The switch is compatible with standard PS/2 peripherals and provides distributed access through Ethernet, making it suitable for facilities requiring centralized console management without dedicated control rooms. Typical applications include server farms, hosting environments, and multi-tenant IT installations where efficient keyboard-video-mouse sharing across multiple hosts reduces the need for individual monitors and input devices.
