Tripp Lite 8-Port KVM Switch USB / PS2 with On Screen Display 1URM (B042-008)
A crowded server rack leaves little room for separate monitors and keyboards at every post. We built this switch to tie a bank of machines back to one console point. The metal housing mounts directly into standard rack rails, keeping your workspace clear while maintaining local hardware access.

How this one is built
On screen control
The integrated display menu lets you name connected machines and jump between them through keystrokes or front buttons. It simplifies switching when you need to access a specific server during maintenance.
Mixed platform support
The back panel accepts connections for both legacy and current machines. We wired the switch to handle USB and older style inputs without needing separate converters at the rack.
Daisy chain expansion
Linking additional units together expands control across dozens of extra servers from that same single console. The connection cables hook straight between switches to keep the rack layout orderly.
Steel rack enclosure
The black metal housing sits level across standard rack posts without sagging under the weight of heavy cable bundles. It keeps the console wiring organized in one dedicated space.
On the nameplate
These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
