Section 1
The AKVM-2A switch is a 2-port PS/2 type KVM switch
with audio support that comes with two sets of built-in
1.5M cables. It enables users to access, control, boot,
and reboot two computers using only one keyboard, video
monitor, mouse, microphone, and speakers. Its one-
piece design offers more portability and convenience to
users than conventional KVM switches.

type of cables you use, the maximum cable dis-
tance is limited to 5 ~ 7 meters (15.5 ~ 23 feet).
