Portable KVM adapter for headless servers

The StarTech NOTECONS01 turns a laptop into a direct console for headless servers, PCs, ATMs and kiosks. It connects through a single USB 2.0 port and a VGA DB15 connector. The adapter is designed for administrators who travel between data centres and server rooms. No external power supply is required for operation.

Plug-and-play with integrated cables

Integrated cables eliminate loose parts and simplify connection to the target system. Auto image centering adjusts 4:3 output on widescreen laptop displays. LED indicators confirm USB link, host video and host keyboard or mouse activity. Keyboard emulation supports USB, PS/2 and SUN systems for broad compatibility.

VGA resolution limited to 1920x1600 at 60Hz

The analog VGA interface caps maximum resolution at 1920x1600 at 60Hz. USB 2.0 bandwidth restricts peripheral throughput compared with newer standards. Single-port design serves only one computer at a time. Buyers needing multi-server switching or digital video input should consider a different class of KVM.
