USB Server Interface Module

The Tripp Lite B055-001-USB connects a server's USB and HD15 ports to a single RJ45 port using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It replaces bulky KVM cables with a compact, lightweight module that requires no external power supply or software installation. The unit supports distances up to 130 ft from a compatible B064-Series NetDirector Multi-user IP KVM switch.

Suits single-server connections; not for direct use

This module serves administrators managing one server through a B064-Series KVM switch over structured cabling. It is not suitable for direct server-to-console links without the matrix switch, nor for setups requiring multiple server connections from a single module. Buyers needing multi-port server interfaces or different video connectors should consider other models.

130 ft Cat5e reach over single RJ45

The module converts local USB and HD15 signals to one RJ45 uplink, enabling 130 ft cable runs to the KVM switch using ordinary Cat5e patch leads. This distance capability determines cabinet layout flexibility and cable routing options. Verify the target KVM switch is a B064-Series unit and that the server provides both HD15 video and USB ports before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the B055-001-USB module need any firmware updates or internal batteries replaced over time?

The module is plug-and-play with no software required and draws power from the connected server, so there are no firmware updates or batteries to maintain.

What cable length limit applies when linking this module to a B064-Series KVM switch?

Cat5e or Cat6 patch cables can run up to 130 ft between the module and the KVM switch before signal degradation becomes the limiting factor.

How much heat or fan noise does the module add when it runs continuously in a server rack?

The module requires no external power supply and has no moving parts, so it adds negligible heat and zero audible noise during all-day operation.
