The CL1016 LCD KVM Switch series are control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM), console. A single CL1016 can control up to 16 computers. As many as 15 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the CL1008, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from a single KVM console. The CL1016 offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, 17" LED-backlit LCD monitor, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing.
