IOGEAR's GCL1916 is a TAA Compliant integrated LCD console with a 16-port KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) switch that offers secure access to 16 VGA, USB or PS/2 computers. It features a convenient rack mountable sliding / retractable 19" TFT LCD active matrix monitor and keyboard with built-in touchpad for a space-saving and streamlined integration. For added convenience it also supports an external USB mouse. An extra USB / PS/2 console port is provided on the rear panel to manage the LCD KVM switch from an external console (monitor, keyboard and mouse). The GCL1916 fits into a universal 1U rack mount space.
The GCL1916 supports both PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice for the connected computers, and supports USB peripheral devices for the attached computers. A single GCL1916 can control up to 16 computers, but as many as 16 additional compatible KVM switches can be cascaded to reach up to 256 computers (can only be cascaded with other IOGEAR KVMs: GCS1808 or GCS1716 models) controlled from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse console.
