Raritan Dominion KX II 16 Server Ports, 4 Remote Port KVM Over IP Switch
DKX2-416
The Dominion KX2-416 is a KVM over IP switch with 16 KVM ports, 4 remote user ports and 1 local user port for connection at a server rack. The Raritan Dominion KX II family of KVM switches are enterprise, secure KVM-over-IP switches which provide remote BIOS-level control. Raritan's Universal Virtual Media (standard on all models) lets administrators perform tasks such as installing software, transferring files and backing up data. These IP switches also feature Raritan's Virtual KVM Desktop. This feature allows users to scale a target server's display to any size, from thumbnails to full screen video.
The Dominion KX II consists of the KVM over IP switch and Computer Interface Modules (CIMs). Each CIM connects to the server's KVM ports and converts video signals for transmission of up to 150 feet over UTP (Cat5/5e/6) cabling.
Note: The D2CIM-VUSB CIM is required for Virtual Media.

Question: Can you expand the amount of ports on this product? So you can have around 40?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this switch can be expanded to support up to 1024 servers by connecting multiple Dominion KX II KVMs together. Most often this is referred to as cascading or daisy chaining, however, Raritan refers to this functionality as tiering.
