PRIMUX-8X32

KVM Matrix Switch via CAT5, 8 user, 32 CPUs.

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

The scalable PRIMUX® Matrix KVM Switch via CAT5 provides non-blocking access for up to 16 simultaneous users to up to 64 servers. The units are stackable allowing access to up to 128 servers. The switch frees up valuable space by eliminating large KVM switchboxes and bulky hard-to-manage coax cables. It is an ideal solution for high-density server environments.


The PRIMUX system consists of three components: Matrix Switch, connects users to servers; Host Adapters, connect to each server; and User Stations, connect to each set of user-station equipment—keyboard, monitor and mouse. The User Stations and Host Adapters can be located as far as 1,000 feet from each other, and are connected to the matrix switch through CAT5/5e/6 UTP cable.

  • Multi-user, multi-platform, multi-rack access.
  • Ideal for hazardous/unsecured environments. The User Stations can be located up to 1,000 feet from the servers.
  • Inexpensive CAT5/5e/6 UTP cable replaces bulky KVM cables.
  • Simple plug-and-play auto-configured installation.
    • Servers are discovered as they are powered up, and can be accessed immediately by authorized users.
  • Hot-swap components with no disruption of server operation.
  • Crisp and clear 1024x768 video resolution at 1,000 feet, 1920x1440 at 300 feet.
  • Automatically adjusts the video quality to compensate for varying lengths of CAT5/5e/6 cable.
  • Dedicated microprocessors prevent CPUs from locking up, ensuring reliable control.
  • Real time power status of connected servers.
  • Provides connection to servers during power up at the BIOS level.
  • Platform-specific host adapters for PS/2, SUN and USB computers.
  • Command and control provided by OSD of connected User Station.
  • Flash firmware upgrades.
