Tripp Lite Cat5 Console (PS/2 or USB) Extender
Racks belong in equipment rooms, but administrators sit elsewhere. This kit links a local keyboard, mouse, and monitor to a remote console over common network cabling. It lets you manage switches or target machines without standing on the raised floor.
Price as the listing last showed it. Listings move, so the figure on the page you land on is the one that counts at checkout.

- Can control the computer or KVM switch via both Local and Remote Consoles.
- The remote connection is made using standard Cat5e cable (choose Tripp Lite's N01 series)
- Display mode of 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz
- Shielded Cat5e cables provide better transmission integrity
How this one is built
Local and remote access
You can work right at the rack or take control from a desk across the facility. Both stations handle keyboard, mouse, and display signals directly.
Network cable run
The connection between stations uses standard twisted pair patch cabling. Running shielded copper keeps the video clear over a long stretch.
Console interface choice
The extender accepts legacy keyboard and mouse connections as well as USB inputs. It links into individual target machines or directly to an existing switch.
Silver metal chassis
The housing handles daily bench use and mounts where space allows. It shields the internal electronics and stays grounded during long operation runs.
