NetController 8-Port Console KVM switch. Cost effective and highly flexible system for controlling multiple computers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. Directly connect up to 8 computers or increase the number of connected computers to up to 248 by daisychaining up to 15 B042-Series KVM switches.

Password feature provides additional security to prevent unauthorized access to connected computers. Rackmount hardware is included with the unit, and is designed for easy, one person installation. Fits into any rack from 27 to 42 inches deep, and can be installed in a 2-post rack using Tripp Lite's B019-000. Compatible with all major operating systems.
