Applications

The MasterConsole MC16E belongs to Raritan's well-established line of KVM switches, widely used in data centers, server rooms, and IT labs throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s to centralize control of multiple servers at a single console station. By sharing one keyboard, monitor, and mouse across up to 16 machines, administrators could manage servers without dedicated peripherals at each rack position — reducing hardware clutter and desk space significantly. The Auto Scan feature cycles through active channels automatically for monitoring, while Auto Skip bypasses channels with no connected computer. The Bank/Channel organization supports scaling to large multi-switch installations via daisy-chaining or cascading. Today, the MC16E is primarily sought by legacy lab environments, educational institutions, and operators still running PS/2-era servers or workstations who need a proven analog KVM solution with no software or drivers required.

Condition: Used
This Raritan MC16E MasterConsole 16-channel KVM switch has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition.

It was pulled from a working environment. Unit only; no KVM cables are included unless visible in the photos. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
