Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. The connection to the servers is run over CAT5/5e/6 cable via the RJ45 port on the back of the KVM. From the KVM the CAT5/5e/6 cable would plug into a CIM (Computer Interface Module). The CIM would then attach to the VGA and USB port of the server. This particular model comes bundled with 16 x MCIM-USB CIMs: https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/mcim-usb.html.
Question: can these be daisy chained together for scalability?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this Raritan MasterConsole CAT series KVM can be daisy chained with others to gain control of up to 256 servers.
