Reliable Multi-Server Management Without the Complexity
The Raloy RSA-KVM100 Series provides straightforward, cost-effective KVM control for managing multiple computers and servers from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console.
Available in 8-port and 16-port configurations, the RSA-KVM100 supports VGA video resolutions up to 1920 × 1200, works across Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS environments, and provides convenient port switching through the multilingual on-screen display, front-panel buttons, or keyboard hotkeys.
For installations that need to manage more systems, up to eight RSA-KVM100 switches can be cascaded to control as many as 128 servers from one user station.

Choose the Right Port Density
RSA-KVM10008
8-Port USB VGA KVM
A compact choice for smaller server rooms, IT workstations, labs, and rack environments managing up to eight directly connected systems.
RSA-KVM10016
16-Port USB VGA KVM
Provides twice the local KVM port density for larger server rooms and environments where centralized management of more systems is required.
Both models share the same 1U chassis, VGA resolution capabilities, switching methods, operating-system compatibility, and expansion capabilities.

- 8- or 16-port KVM configurations for centralized management of multiple servers
- VGA video support up to 1920 × 1200
- USB keyboard and mouse support for modern systems
- PS/2 compatibility for legacy equipment when used with the appropriate cable
- Multilingual on-screen display for convenient port management
- Front-panel push buttons for direct port selection
- Keyboard hotkeys for fast switching between connected systems
- 8-level cascading for expansion up to 128 servers
- Multi-platform compatibility with Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS
- Hot-pluggable design for convenient installation and maintenance
- No software or drivers required
- 1U rackmount form factor
- TAA compliant
Benefits
- Manage multiple servers from one console instead of dedicating a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to every system.
- Reduce equipment and workspace clutter in server rooms and IT work areas.
- Support legacy and modern servers with USB and PS/2 connectivity options.
- Simplify everyday server access using OSD, front-panel buttons, or keyboard hotkeys.
- Scale your KVM installation as your server count grows through cascading.
- Save rack space with a compact 1U design.
- Avoid software dependencies with a hardware-based, driver-free KVM solution.
- Choose the right capacity with 8-port and 16-port models.
VGA KVM for Modern and Legacy Servers
The RSA-KVM100 uses DB-15 VGA KVM ports, making it particularly well suited to environments where VGA remains common.
Each server connection can use either:
- USB VGA 2-in-1 KVM cables, or
- VGA + PS/2 combo KVM cables
This gives the RSA-KVM100 greater flexibility when connecting a mixture of newer USB systems and legacy PS/2 equipment.
Compatible Raloy KVM Cables
| Cable | Length | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| RCB-6 | 6 ft | VGA + USB |
| RCB-10 | 10 ft | VGA + USB |
| RCB-15 | 15 ft | VGA + USB |
| RCE-6 | 6 ft | VGA + PS/2 Combo |
| RCE-15 | 15 ft | VGA + PS/2 Combo |
KVM cables are sold separately.
Multiple Ways to Switch Ports
The RSA-KVM100 gives administrators several ways to access connected systems.
On-Screen Display
Use the multilingual OSD to view and select connected KVM ports.
Front-Panel Buttons
Select a server directly from the front of the rack-mounted KVM.
Keyboard Hotkeys
Switch between connected systems without reaching for the KVM’s front panel.
This flexibility makes the RSA-KVM100 practical for both everyday server administration and occasional maintenance access.
Expand to 128 Servers
The RSA-KVM100 supports 8-level cascading, allowing multiple KVM switches to be connected together.
RSA-KVM100 → Cascaded KVMs → Up to 128 Servers
This lets a smaller KVM installation grow as additional servers are added, without requiring a completely different KVM architecture.
Video Resolution Support
The RSA-KVM100 supports several common VGA display formats:
| Aspect Ratio | Maximum Resolution |
|---|---|
| 16:9 | 1920 × 1080 |
| 16:10 | 1920 × 1200 |
| 4:3 | 1600 × 1200 |
The same resolution limits apply to the server-side video connections and local console.
Local Console
The local console provides:
- VGA video
- Two USB Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse
- Multilingual OSD
- Front-panel controls
- Keyboard hotkey control
This allows administrators to operate connected systems directly from the rack without requiring network-based management.
