A KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) switch is a hardware device that can allow multiple computers to be controlled by just one operator, using a single keyboard, monitor and mouse.

A compact 12V 1600W power supply was required for KVM switches used in industrial applications, including broadcast and energy infrastructure. As the systems had to be fail-safe, N+1 redundancy was needed in the event of power supply failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

HFE1600-12\/S<\/span><\/a> hot-swap power supplies were proposed to the development team and tested. Up to five HFE power supplies can be mounted in a 1U high 19\u201d rack. The \u201c\/S\u201d option was also added, which provides an isolated PMBus\u2122 (I2C) interface for remote monitoring. An added benefit was that the HFE series was designed for industrial applications with robust connectors.<\/span><\/p>\n
