Avocent LRA185KMM16DG01 18.5" 16-port KVM switch

18.5-inch 16-port rack KVM console

The Avocent LRA185KMM16DG01 integrates an 18.5-inch widescreen LCD, a full desktop-style keyboard and a touchpad into a single rack-mount tray. It provides direct local access to up to 16 connected servers through a compatible KVM switch. The unit is designed for data-centre administrators who need a compact, always-ready console for software upgrades, troubleshooting and system monitoring without deploying separate crash carts.

Continuous multi-server management

When linked to a supported Vertiv Avocent KVM switch, the console allows operators to switch between all 16 ports instantly and maintain sessions for extended periods. The tray draws minimal power during both standby and active operation, so it can remain powered on continuously without adding measurable load to the rack's power budget. USB and VGA interfaces on the tray ensure broad compatibility with the servers and network devices attached to the switch.

Low heat and quiet rack operation

Because the console consumes very little power in normal use, it generates negligible heat inside the cabinet and does not require additional cooling capacity. The integrated LCD and input devices operate silently, keeping acoustic levels low in dense server rooms. This combination of low thermal output and silent running helps preserve uptime and reduces the environmental footprint of the rack access point.
