Eaton B006‑VUA4‑K‑R 4‑Port USB/PS/2 KVM Switch with OSD & Audio

Overview :

The Eaton B006‑VUA4‑K‑R is a 4‑port KVM (Keyboard‑Video‑Mouse) switch designed for centralized local control of multiple computer systems using a single console. It is deployed by IT engineers, system administrators, and network technicians in small server rooms, control racks, and mixed‑platform environments where consolidated access to multiple hosts improves operational efficiency and reduces footprint.

This unit supports up to four connected computers using USB or PS/2 interfaces and integrates audio and peripheral sharing through a built‑in 2‑port USB 2.0 hub and 3.5 mm audio jacks. The on‑screen display (OSD) subsystem allows port selection, access control, and monitoring without separate management software.

B006‑VUA4‑K‑R fits both desktop and 19‑inch rack deployments in a 1U form factor and includes the necessary 4 USB + audio KVM cable kits, rackmount hardware, and power supply in the package. It is suitable for multi‑server racks, test labs, and distributed IT closets where one console must serve multiple hosts.

From an integration perspective, the switch handles VGA video signals up to 2048×1536 resolution per port, while USB and audio support allow shared peripheral access (e.g., printers, storage, speakers). It is compatible with major operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, UNIX variants, and supports both USB and legacy PS/2 connections.

A practical deployment includes colocating the B006‑VUA4‑K‑R in a 19‑inch rack to manage four network appliances or blade servers from a single keyboard, VGA monitor, and mouse during configuration and maintenance tasks, reducing the need for multiple consoles. It can also serve as a centralized control point in remote support labs.

This switch should not be used where secure remote IP console access is required, nor in large scale multi‑user environments requiring multi‑session or automated out‑of‑band management; dedicated console servers or IP‑enabled KVMs are more appropriate in those cases.
