8-Port DVI USB KVM Switch

The Tripp Lite B043-DUA8-SL is a 1U rackmount KVM switch that lets one operator manage up to eight servers from a single DVI monitor, USB keyboard and mouse. It also provides audio switching and a built-in two-port USB hub for shared peripherals. Designed for NetController series environments, it consolidates control in server rooms and lab racks.

IT administrators needing centralised DVI console

Suits IT administrators who need centralised console access to eight DVI-equipped servers using one local user station. The switch supports a maximum video resolution of 2048 x 1536 across its nine DVI ports. It is not intended for installations that require multi-user simultaneous access or for systems that output video over interfaces other than DVI.

Eight computer connections

The decisive specification is the eight computer connections combined with a maximum video resolution of 2048 x 1536, which determines whether the switch matches the server count and display quality required. Twelve USB ports provide keyboard, mouse and hub connectivity for the managed systems. Verify that each target server supplies DVI video and USB peripheral ports before deployment.

Questions about this item

Which cables do I need to connect each computer to the B043-DUA8-SL KVM switch?

Each of the eight computer ports requires a DVI video cable and a USB cable for keyboard and mouse signals, so you must supply eight DVI cables and eight USB cables.

Can I keep my existing QXGA monitor and use it with this switch?

Yes, the switch supports video resolution up to 2048 x 1536 and lists QXGA among the supported monitor types.

How can I verify the switch is operating correctly once installed?

After rack-mounting the 1U unit and connecting the monitor, keyboard, mouse and up to eight computers, use the front-panel port buttons or hot-key sequence to switch between ports and confirm video appears at 2048 x 1536 and USB devices respond on each selected channel.
