Avocent SC180 KVM Switch

The Avocent SC180 is an 8-port KVM switch (MPN SC180) that lets a single console manage eight servers from one keyboard, video, and mouse interface. It provides a VGA video interface with switching via front-panel push buttons and keyboard hotkeys, enabling fast, centralized access for operations in data centers, server rooms, network operation centers, and industrial control environments—and it’s a common choice for maintenance teams and system integrators performing system consolidation, rack optimization, troubleshooting access, and replacement of legacy KVM switching equipment. The unit offers eight server ports and a single local console port, supporting the standard keyboard, monitor, and mouse connections for a single-console management solution. Designed for flexible deployment, the SC180 is a compact, rack-mountable KVM switch suitable for desktop installation, providing a space-efficient solution for data centers and enterprise IT environments that need centralized access to multiple servers, workstations, and network devices. In practice, the SC180 supports maintenance windows by consolidating access to multiple servers, enabling faster troubleshooting and reducing the footprint of separate KVM devices in racks.
