KVMSwitchTech Catalog
Rackmount monitor products ranked by real sales order history from the main KVMSwitchTech store.
We scored eight live catalog SKUs for enterprise KVM work in 2026: matrix over IP, Cat5 IP, 32-port Cat5, USB rack, 4K HDMI, secure DisplayPort, and an 8-port USB KVM drawer.
Fiber optic repeater vs extender for HDMI and KVM runs. Distance bands, single-mode vs multimode, 4K30-class, and when a hop is required. Call (216) 798-7530.
Size a 16x16 matrix switcher for control rooms: chassis class, HDMI vs HDBaseT vs fiber, EDID, audio extract, and 4x4/8x8/16x16 RFQ fields. Call (216) 798-7530.
Control-room RFQ for a video matrix switcher: lock I/O, EDID, 4K30-class, RS-232 or IP, and audio extract before quoting a 4x4 HDMI SKU. Call (216) 798-7530.
Compare an HDBaseT matrix to a local HDMI matrix by run length, PoH class, EMI, and 8x8 vs 4x4 chassis so control-room RFQs stop cloning a 4x4 HDMI spec. Call (216) 798-7530.
Dual and triple display rackmount monitors put two or three 17-inch panels in 2U. This is not dual-head KVM. Match screen count, DVI vs DisplayPort, and pointing device. Call (216) 798-7530.
A short depth kvm drawer is a 1U LCD keyboard chassis for 600 mm and 24-inch cabinets. Measure rail depth, doors, and cable arms before you pick 17 vs 19 inch. Call (216) 798-7530.
A 4x4 HDMI matrix routes four sources to four displays independently. Compare matrix vs switch vs splitter, 4K30-class bandwidth, EDID, and when to buy 8x8 or HDBaseT. Call (216) 798-7530.
PiKVM is a capable single-host remote KVM for a lab. A rack IP KVM switch is what most colo and enterprise RFQs require: concurrent sessions, SSL, dongles, and a chassis you can put on a BOM. Call (216) 798-7530.
