Engineered for superior performance, it features Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) technology that automatically adjusts signal strength without the need for DIP switch settings, ensuring crystal-clear HDMI video output up to 1920 x 1200 resolution. This adapter supports virtual media functionality and Smart Card/CAC reader support for secure authentication, making it ideal for IT environments requiring enhanced peripheral control and media management. It includes built-in keyboard and mouse emulation to maintain system functionality even when disconnected or moved between KVM ports. Compact, lightweight, and equipped with a reliable built-in ASIC, the KA7168 guarantees consistent performance and lifetime firmware upgrade support. Note: Virtual media and CAC reader functions are incompatible with specific KVM switch models (e.g., KH1508A, KH1516A, KL1508A, KH2508A, and others). This adapter cable simplifies KVM setups while providing exceptional video quality and security in a compact form factor.
