Tripp Lite NetDirector 8-Port Rackmount Console KVM Switch with 17-Inch LCD Screen
Server cabinets get crowded fast when each machine demands its own display and peripherals. We built this console drawer to pull out smoothly, give you a clear view on the built-in screen, and tuck away flat once the cabinet door shuts. It ties several machines directly to one local station without cluttering your rack floor.

How this one is built
Slide out console housing
The heavy steel drawer mounts directly between standard rack rails. It glides forward when you need local access, opens up for maintenance, and folds flat before sliding back inside the frame.
Integrated display and keys
A fold-up screen pairs with a full keyboard, numeric pad, and touchpad in one unified tray. You get direct input on your equipment without rolling a crash cart across the raised floor.
Multi-machine switch bank
The internal switch routes your controls across several attached servers through back-panel connections. Switching between targets takes a quick key combination, keeping administration localized and direct.
Hardware platform support
The interface handles both older and modern computer connections, accepting USB and legacy peripheral wiring. It takes the video feed straight from the host without requiring special driver packages.
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.
