Tripp Lite B072-032-IP2-K 32-Port Cat5 1U KVM Switch with IP Remote Access, 16 USB Dongles

32-Port Cat5 KVM with IP Access

The Tripp Lite B072-032-IP2-K is a 1U rack-mount KVM switch that lets administrators manage 32 servers from a single local console or remotely over a network. Sixteen USB server interface dongles are included, enabling USB keyboard and mouse connectivity for each connected system using low-cost Cat5e/6/6a cabling. It supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 and operates on nominal input voltages from 100V AC to 240V AC at 50/60Hz.

IT teams needing dense remote server management

This switch suits data-centre operators who require simultaneous local and dual-remote access to 32 VGA-based servers within a single rack unit. It also fits budgets that favour copper Cat5 infrastructure over fibre or proprietary cabling. Buyers whose servers lack USB or PS/2 ports, or who need native digital video inputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort, should look at something else. Environments requiring more than 32 ports per appliance will need a different solution.

1U form factor with 32 RJ45 ports

The unit occupies exactly 1U of rack space measuring 1.70" x 17.30" x 11.00" and weighs 13.56 lbs. Its front and rear provide 32 RJ45 female ports for server connections plus dedicated local console and IP remote access. If the available rack depth or power distribution cannot accommodate these dimensions and the 120V 0.7A / 230V 0.3A current draw, the switch will not fit the installation.
