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.
