PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender - Use with Pi KVM V4 Plus, Pi KVM V3, PiKVM V2, and Pi KVM V1

The PiKVM team is excited to present its new PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender - the most full-featured switch for PiKVM devices. The PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender enables one PiKVM device to view and control multiple computer targets connected to each port from a web UI. Up to five Switch Multiport Extenders can be daisy-chained to provide 20 ports, allowing a single PiKVM to control and manage one of 20 connected targets. ATX statuses and controls are available for all connected targets simultaneously. The PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender is fully plug-and-play. It is compatible with PiKVM models V4 Plus, V3, V2, and V1.

It is NOT compatible with PiKVM V4 Mini.
Important Note: PiKVM V4 Mini is NOT compatible due to the lack of available USB host ports. The Switch Multiport Extender MUST be operated via the PiKVM interface, as the unit has no built-in controls. Features A competitive & cost-effective solution A single PiKVM can manage up to five chained switch units, enabling control of multiple targets while minimizing costs and maintenance efforts. Each PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender unit can control 4 targets. Switch functionality integrated into the PiKVM interface Use the popular interface, now expanded to support the number of targets available through the connected switches. Operational insights with multifunctional status LEDs Monitor detected targets, selected ports, and the switch's overall status in real time. Rapid switching With an advanced HDMI dummy plug function, you can switch between target computers significantly faster than competing solutions! Automatic firmware updates with PiKVM OS - Once PiKVM is updated, the main switch update will simply deploy to its neighbors for version uniformity and improved stability. Video inputs feature dedicated EDID configuration and complete control over the connection state of each port. Ready to use Includes a power supply, ATX adapters for power and AUX control, brackets, and all the cables needed to get started!
