Eaton B024-HU16 Tripp Lite 16 Port HDMI KVM Switch

Detailed Specifications

The Eaton B024-HU16 is a high-density, rack-mountable KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch designed to centralize control of up to 16 HDMI-enabled computers or servers from a single console. This robust Layer 1 infrastructure solution is ideal for environments such as data centers, server rooms, and enterprise IT campuses where efficient management of multiple systems is critical for operational continuity and resource optimization. It effectively addresses the challenge of managing diverse HDMI and USB-equipped devices without the clutter and expense of individual peripherals. Engineered to support high-definition video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, including full 1080p, the B024-HU16 ensures crisp, clear visual fidelity essential for detailed monitoring and troubleshooting. Beyond video, it integrates 2.1-channel surround sound audio support and offers USB 2.0 data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps. A built-in two-port USB 2.0 hub further extends its utility, allowing the sharing of essential peripherals like printers or scanners among all connected systems, enhancing overall workstation efficiency. Presented in a space-saving 1U form factor, the B024-HU16 is ready for installation in standard 19-inch racks or can be used as a desktop unit. Its plug-and-play design simplifies deployment, requiring no complex driver installations and ensuring compatibility with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. For larger infrastructures, the unit can be cascaded up to three levels, providing centralized control for as many as 256 computers from one master console. This scalability, combined with flexible port switching via front-panel pushbuttons, hotkey commands, or an intuitive On-Screen Display (OSD), makes it a versatile tool for IT professionals.
