Your KVM setup needs audio passed through to the console, and you want two switches talking to the same server without a second cable run across the rack. The KA7178 handles all three: VGA video up to 1920 x 1200, USB Virtual Media, and stereo audio out. Two Cat 5e/6 connectors let one computer sit on two ALTUSEN Matrix KVM switches at the same time. Auto Signal Compensation means you skip the DIP switch fiddling regardless of cable run length. Keyboard and mouse emulation keeps the server stable when you swap ports mid-session
