16-Port Cat5 KVM over IP Switch

The Tripp Lite B072-016-1-IP is a 1U rackmount KVM switch that lets one local operator and one remote administrator manage up to sixteen servers over a standard Cat5e or Cat6 infrastructure. It delivers video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 and includes dual Ethernet ports for network redundancy.

Check cabling and server interface modules

Each server requires an RJ45 patch cable run no longer than 100 ft (30 m) and a compatible server interface unit such as the B078-101-USB2 or B078-101-USB-1 to convert USB, PS/2 and VGA signals to the Cat5 link. Verify that your rack depth accommodates the 16.97 in chassis and that the target servers support PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse protocols.

Steel 1U chassis with front-panel OSD

The metal enclosure measures 4.37 in high, 48.26 in wide and weighs 2.13 lbs, fitting a standard 19 in rack without additional rails. Front-panel buttons and an on-screen display provide local port selection, while the rear RJ45 array keeps cabling tidy; dual LAN sockets allow a failover path if one network link fails.
