Tripp Lite by Eaton PS/2 Server Interface Module for B070 & B072 KVM Switches

Tripp Lite's NetCommander PS/2 Server Interface Unit (SIU) connects to the HD15 port and PS/2 ports on a computer/server, and converts them to a single RJ45 connector. Ordinary Cat5e patch cables can then be used to connect the computer/server to the switch ports on a Tripp Lite B070 / B072-Series NetCommander Cat5 KVM switch. Use of Cat5e cables frees up space in the installation that would be filled by traditional, thicker KVM cables. More from the Manufacturer
