Model # AKVM-2
Section 1
The
AKVM-2 switch
is a 2-port PS/2 type KVM switch
that comes with two sets of built-in 1.5M cables to save
you cabling troubles. It enables users to access, con-
trol, boot, and reboot two computers using only one
keyboard, video monitor, and mouse. Its one-piece de-
sign offers more portability and convenience to users
than conventional KVM switches.
