Your newer servers ship with HDMI and USB — no VGA, no PS/2, no serial. The KA7168 plugs into your KVM switch's RJ45 port and hands off to the HDMI video and USB ports on the target machine. Virtual Media and Smart Card/CAC reader support are built in for the switch models that carry them, so you can push an ISO or tap a credential without pulling the box out of the rack. Superior signal compensation and delay skew correction keep the image clean even on longer runs — no DIP switch to configure. Compact and light, it tucks behind a 1U switch without crowding the bay. If your cabinet's been slowly migrating to HDMI-only gear and your KVM setup hasn't kept up, this adapter closes that gap without a full rewire
