The PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender enables one PiKVM device to view and control multiple computer targets connected to each port from a web UI. Up to five Switch Multiport Extenders can be daisy-chained to provide 20 ports, allowing a single PiKVM to control and manage one of 20 connected targets. ATX statuses and controls are available for all connected targets simultaneously. The PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender is fully plug-and-play. It is compatible with PiKVM models V4 Plus, V3, V2, and V1. It is NOT compatible with PiKVM V4 Mini. Important Note: PiKVM V4 Mini is NOT compatible due to the lack of available USB host ports. The Switch Multiport Extender MUST be operated via the PiKVM interface, as the unit has no built-in controls. Features A competitive & cost-effective solution – A single PiKVM can manage up to five chained switch units, enabling control of multiple targets while minimizing costs and maintenance efforts. Each PiKVM Switch Multiport Extender unit can control 4 targets. Switch functionality integrated into the PiKVM interface – Use the popular interface, now expanded to support the number of targets available through the connected switches. Operational insights with multifunctional status LEDs – Monitor detected targets, selected ports, and the switch's overall status in real time. Rapid switching – With an advanced HDMI dummy plug function, you can switch between target computers significantly faster than competing solutions! Automatic firmware updates with PiKVM OS - Once PiKVM is updated, the main switch update will simply deploy to its neighbors for version uniformity and improved stability. Video inputs feature dedicated EDID configuration and complete control over the connection state of each port. Ready to use – Includes a power supply, ATX adapters for power and AUX control, brackets, and all the cables needed to get started! Specifications Power: - Power Input: 12V, 0.5A DC, 5.5x2.1mm (Power supply is included) - Peak power consumption: Up to 6W (0.5A/12V) - Built-in watchdog circuitry Connectivity/Interfaces: - 4x HDMI input ports: Video source from the target computer - 4x USB-C 2.0 “OTG”: Keyboard and mouse emulation for the target computer - 4x ATX RJ-45: Special port for target power control or AUX - HDMI uplink/downlink: HDMI signal to PiKVM unit or to daisy-chain multiple units - USB-C female “CTL”: Switch management from PiKVM - USB-C female “OTG”: External device emulation/mass storage from PiKVM Video/Audio: - Supported resolutions: up to 1920x1200@60Hz - Audio capture mode: HDMI audio capture support Environmental: - Operating temperature range: 0°C to 50°C - Storage temperature range: -20°C to 60°C Dimensions:121 x 137 x 44mm Weight: 0.6 kg

I have only just got this set up and running for a couple of days, but it's been flawless so far. No issues, integrates with PiKVM v4 Plus perfectly and extends the capabilities of the PiKVM to control 4 systems (or more if you buy more than one switch).It isn't cheap, and you can configure the PiKVM to work with cheaper switches than this, but they don't support all the same features as the PiKVM and take some configuring.The switch feels very robust and with no moving parts and quality components it should operate constantly for a long time, which is exactly what you want from a device like this.Used with a PiKVM v4 Plus this provides all the features you will find in much more expensive IP KVMs including access to the BIOS, ability to upload mount disk images for OS installation, remote power control, Tailscale support, etc, and a bunch of other features too. PiKVM is open source and running linux so you can modify or extend the features yourself too which makes it very powerful.If you have a PiKVM, this is the best multiport extender for it.
