TRENDnet TK-CAT5U CAT5 USB Server Interface Module

The TRENDnet TK-CAT5U is a CAT5 USB Server Interface Module designed to connect a computer with USB and VGA ports to a TRENDnet CAT5 KVM switch. This component is essential for IT administrators and engineers managing multiple servers in a rack environment, as it streamlines connectivity and reduces cable clutter. One module is required for each computer you intend to control through the KVM switch. This interface module solves the critical challenge of consolidating keyboard, mouse, and video signals from a host computer for transmission over a standard Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cable. By doing so, it simplifies the cabling infrastructure significantly compared to traditional, bulky KVM cables. This approach not only cleans up the rack environment but also extends the connection distance between the server and the KVM switch. Engineered for reliability and compatibility, the TK-CAT5U supports video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, ensuring clear and crisp video output. Its plug-and-play design requires no complex software installation and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, making it a versatile solution for heterogeneous data center environments. The module draws power directly from the computer's USB port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter.
