Vertiv Cybex AFP0008 Remote KVM Switch for Enhanced Desktop Control and Situational Awareness

The Vertiv Cybex AFP0008 Remote KVM Switch is a compact and versatile device designed to streamline remote control of multiple KVM switches, including the SC800/900 series and 4- and 8-port models. This device enhances desktop ergonomics and operational efficiency by allowing users to manage multiple systems from a single, easily accessible location without the need for external power sources. Its straightforward RS232 communication interface enables seamless integration with video wall controllers such as Crestron, making it suitable for complex, multi-display environments. The AFP0008 can be placed up to 6 feet from the associated Cybex switches, providing flexibility in workspace arrangements and reducing desk clutter for a cleaner, more organized environment. Its compatibility with various Cybex and Avocent switches ensures broad applicability across different infrastructure setups. Designed for easy installation and user-friendly operation, this remote control device features an adjustable button light for visibility in varying ambient light conditions and allows disabling of front panel buttons to prevent accidental channel changes. The device’s ergonomic design makes it ideal for sit-stand desks, as the switch can remain under the desk while only peripherals and the AFP cable extend with the desk movement, promoting healthier work habits. It can be mounted on top of a display or directly on the desk, providing flexible placement options for optimal situational awareness. By positioning the AFP within the user’s line of sight, such as on top of a monitor, operators gain immediate visual confirmation of the selected channel, simplifying switch management and improving operational efficiency. Backed by a three-year limited warranty and manufactured in the United States, the Vertiv Cybex AFP0008 offers a reliable solution for remote control of multiple KVM environments, ensuring clear, efficient, and clutter-free workspace management.
