Switching made easy

If you’re an administrator with more than one PC—say one running Linux and the other, Windows—or if you’re an enthusiast with multiple PCs, a device called the KVM switch (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) helps avoid the duplication of keyboard, monitor and mouse. That’s what the ATEN CS-62B brings you. The idea is to plug the existing devices into the respective ports on the CS-62B and attach the two PCs to the box via the ten 6-foot-long tentacles.

The CS-62B has two pairs of connectors, consisting of one D-sub connector, two PS/2 connectors, and two audio jacks. These connect to the respective PCs. The audio jack connects to the audio line-out and mic-in ports on each PC.

We tried this with a Windows and a Linux machine, and we liked the instant switching between machines. The ATEN CS-62B is a cool addition to your arsenal of tools—if you need it, that is.
