Tripp Lite 16-Port Cat5 KVM over IP Switch 19 in LCD 1U Rack-Mount TAA

16-Port KVM over IP Switch

This 16-port KVM over IP switch manages up to sixteen servers from a single console or remote session. It is built for data-centre administrators who need secure, out-of-band access to rack-mounted equipment. The integrated 19-inch LCD provides local control without a separate monitor. TAA compliance qualifies it for federal and government procurement.

1U Rack-Mount with Integrated LCD

The unit occupies one rack unit and includes a built-in 19-inch LCD panel, keyboard and touchpad that slide into the rack when not in use. Cat5 cabling connects the switch to server modules, reducing cable bulk compared to traditional KVM bundles. A single local user and one remote IP user can operate the console simultaneously. The compact form factor suits dense rack environments where space is limited.

Passive Cooling in Standard Racks

The switch relies on passive convection within a standard server rack airflow, so it adds no active fan noise to the room. Power draw remains low because the LCD backlight and switching logic are the only active components. Heat output is minimal and dissipates through the vented chassis without requiring additional cooling capacity. This makes it suitable for quiet equipment rooms or office-adjacent racks.
