Compatibility and Connectivity of Kvm Cable
The UF366 Dell USB Server Interface Pod KVM cable is specifically designed to be used with Dell’s Server Interface Pod (SIP) KVM switches. These KVM switches allow you to control multiple servers from a single console and switch between them as needed. The UF366 cable connects to the USB ports on the server and the SIP KVM switch, allowing you to control the server using the keyboard, video, and mouse connected to the KVM switch.
It is important to note that the UF366 is not compatible with other brands of KVM switches or with computers that do not have USB ports.

The UF366 cable is usually used with Dell’s PowerEdge servers, but also compatible with other servers that have USB ports.
