The StarTech.com SV831DUSBU is an 8-port, 1U rack-mount USB KVM switch that lets data-center and server-room administrators control up to eight VGA/USB computers with one keyboard, mouse, and monitor, selecting systems by push button, hotkey, or on-screen display.

Recommended For

  • IT administrators managing several legacy VGA-and-USB servers from one rack console, with physical access to choose among up to eight systems.
  • Server-room or network-closet teams consolidating keyboards, mice, and a monitor to save rack and desk space while servicing multiple connected computers.
  • IT repair benches or computer labs that routinely switch a shared monitor and USB input devices between several VGA-equipped machines.
  • Operators maintaining older VGA-based systems who need on-device port selection through buttons, hotkeys, or the on-screen display rather than a modern video interface.

Real-World Use Scenarios

  • In a server room with several VGA-and-USB servers, an administrator can use one local keyboard, mouse, and monitor to switch between systems for hands-on checks, reducing the need to connect a separate console to each server.
  • At a PC test or burn-in bench, a technician can move between multiple compatible computers using the same desk peripherals, keeping the work area less crowded than a setup with a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse for each system.
  • In a software QA lab, a tester can select different connected systems from the KVM’s buttons, hotkeys, or on-screen display and use one local console to interact with them.
  • In a small data center, server farm, or colocation facility, the switch can centralize local access to up to eight compatible computers in a 1U rack space, helping staff manage systems without dedicating a full console setup to each one.
  • When a rack grows beyond eight compatible systems, an IT team can cascade additional KVM switches to expand access through the setup, while continuing to switch among computers from a local console.
