Adder AVX4024-US – AdderView CATx 4000 4-User 24-Port KVM Switch

Product Overview

The Adder AVX4024-US is a 4-user, 24-port CATx KVM switch from the AdderView CATx 4000 series, built for server room KVM control where multiple administrators need BIOS-level access to large banks of multiplatform servers. This rack mount KVM over CATx switch supports four concurrent local, remote, or global users managing up to 24 computers from a single 1U appliance. For IT teams comparing a multi-user KVM switch for server racks, the AVX4024-US combines high-quality video, optional CD-quality audio, and integrated remote power control in one self-contained system.

Product Description

The AdderView CATx 4000 series connects computers and remote user stations over standard CATx cabling using RJ45 connections, which keeps cabling cost low and simplifies installation across equipment rooms and adjacent operator positions. Each of the 24 computer ports links to a server via a CATx access module, while one local console (VGA video with PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse) and four remote CATx user connections give operators flexible access points. Remote users can be located up to 300m from the connected computers when paired with Adder extender hardware, allowing workstations to sit well away from noisy, heat-generating server racks.

Video performance supports resolutions up to 1900x1440 with DDC emulation, and continuous keyboard and mouse emulation ensures every connected server boots and runs without interruption, even when no user is selected to it. Platform support covers PS/2, USB, and Sun systems, making the switch suitable for mixed-vendor server estates. A dedicated RS232 port interfaces with power switches to provide full remote reboot capability, so administrators can power-cycle a locked server without walking to the rack.

The unit installs in minutes as a plug-and-play 1U appliance with the rack kit included, and it draws universal 100-240V AC power through a standard IEC inlet. For organizations standardizing on Adder KVM infrastructure, the AVX4024-US pairs naturally with other products in our Adder Technology collection.
