It’s a good choice for the individual user who works with up to four computers, perhaps a desktop and a notebook model, and wishes to share one monitor, keyboard and speaker system.

They have high-resolution (2048 x 1536 pixel) HDB-15 video and USB keyboard/mouse connections as well as speaker and microphone connections and a USB hub for excellent multi-media capability.
- Page 9 The CS1308 and CS1316 are, respectively, 8- and 16-port KVM switches that support both USB and PS/2 connections for the console and computers. As many as 16 additional switches can be cascaded (cabled one to the other) bringing the total number of connected computers that can be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console to 64 (CS1308) or 256 (CS1316).
