Server Interface Module

The Tripp Lite B078-101-USB connects a single server's USB and HD15 ports to a compatible KVM switch using one Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It is designed for IT administrators who want to reduce cable bulk and extend the distance between the server and the switch.

Installation Experience

The module requires no external power supply and operates on a plug-and-play basis with no software installation. A common issue is attempting to use it with non-compatible KVM models or exceeding the supported cable distance.

Sustained Operation

The unit passively converts signals for continuous remote server management over extended cable runs. Its compact, lightweight construction minimises rack-space usage and avoids adding heat to the cabinet during long-term deployment.
