The GCM digital console switches enable you to share one workspace (keyboard, mouse, and display)
across many target systems. The target systems are connected to the console switch via CAT-5 cables
and the appropriate conversion option at the target end. Conversion options are available with either USB
or PS/2 connectors. Connections to serial devices are also supported with serial conversion options.
With server densities continually increasing, cable bulk remains a major concern for network
administrators. The GCM16 and GCM32 switches significantly reduce KVM cable volume in the rack by
utilizing the innovative conversion option cables and single, industry-standard CAT-5 UTP cabling. This
allows a higher server density while providing greater airflow and cooling capacity. In addition, multiple
target systems can be daisy-chained together using CAT-5 cables, and then all connected to the console
switch using one cable, thereby eliminating a lot of cable clutter.
