Tripp Lite B078-101-USB-1 Kvm Switch Server Interface Unit

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE B078-101-USB-1 is a USB server interface unit designed for use with enterprise-grade KVM switch systems. This device connects a target server to the KVM switch infrastructure, allowing keyboard, video, and mouse signals to pass between the server and the KVM management layer. It is installed directly at the server end of the connection, making it a critical link in centralized server management environments. IT technicians and data center professionals install this unit when building out or expanding KVM-over-IP or analog KVM deployments where per-server interface modules are required.

This interface unit is intended for enterprise KVM environments where multiple servers are managed from a central console or remote access platform. It is suited for rack-mounted server deployments in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise IT closets. The B078-101-USB-1 connects via USB to the target server, eliminating the need for PS/2 ports on modern hardware. It is sold and installed as a single unit per server connection point.
