Detailed Specifications
StarTech SV831DUSB 8 Port USB VGA KVM Switch
overview
The StarTech SV831DUSB is an 8-port USB KVM switch that enables control of up to eight VGA-equipped computers or servers from a single console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse). Designed for IT closets, small server rooms, labs, and multi-system operator stations, it consolidates system access and reduces peripheral duplication. The integrated On-Screen Display (OSD) simplifies host selection, user labeling, and access control. This model uses USB for keyboard/mouse control and VGA for video, supporting legacy systems where analog display connectivity remains in use. It is not suited for modern HDMI/DisplayPort workflows or multi-monitor requirements. (Specs verified from official StarTech datasheet and authorized vendor listings.)
