Review on Basicest® BAS2149 Freedom Electronic Switch by Jerry Forehand

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great device, great price.

Simplest USB 8-Port KVM Switch, $56.99. Works great, use it on 8 servers, no problems at all. The mini USB remote control is very handy when there is a keyboard/monitor nearby, the cable is about 6.5ft long. Apparently the same device as other more expensive brands. The button LEDs are bright red, which I like, and there's a standard beep when you switch machines, which I like too. There is no separate power supply as it is powered by connected machines via the USB port. Supplied with rack ears and 8 x 4ft and 4 x 5ft KVM cables. The unit height is 1.25", slightly thinner than a standard 1.75" rack unit. IMHO a great buy.

Pros
  • Supports multiple platforms: DOS, Win3.X, Win95/98/98SE/2000/ME/XP, WinNT, Netware, Unix and Linux.
Cons
  • Security
