Tripp Lite’s 8-port KVM Console Switch w/17" LCD is the optimal solution for controlling multiple computers from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. This single unit combines an 8 port KVM switch, keyboard, 17" LCD monitor and touchpad - all in a mere 1U of rack space. Stores neatly in the rack, pulls out when needed. Control up to 504 computers from this single console by daisy-chaining additional 16 port KVM switches (model B022-016). Easily switch ports using the On-Console buttons, touchpad with On Screen Display (OSD), or by using the keyboard "hot key" functions. Control PS/2, USB, or SUN systems when using the appropriate cable kit. Extra VGA and (2) PS/2 ports on the rear of the unit allow connection of Remote Access IP unit B050-000 or seperate console.
