Features l Connects 16 DisplayPort Devices to a Single DisplayPort Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse

This rack-mount KVM switch lets you access, control, boot and reboot up to 16 computers or other devices with DisplayPort connectors at the same time. In addition to desktop and notebook computers, the KVM also connects up to 16 media centers, gaming systems, Blu-ray and DVD players, cable and satellite boxes, DVRs and other DisplayPort-enabled devices. All 16 computers share one DisplayPort and/or HDMI monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse, which saves space on your desk or workspace.

Connect up to 256 Computers to One Original Console

You can also cascade two levels of B024-DPU16 KVM switches, allowing centralized access to as many as 256 computers using a single monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Switching Between Computers Is Fast and Easy

Use the front-panel pushbuttons, RS-232 commands, hotkeys or multi-lingual On-Screen Display (OSD) with text-based interface for quick and easy toggling between computers. Or you can use Auto Scan mode to scan all connected computers in five-second intervals automatically. Orange LEDs indicate which computer is currently selected.

Cables Are Included for Fast and Simple Setup

Connect your DisplayPort and/or HDMI monitor, keyboard, mouse, and (optional) speakers to the KVM's console ports. Then, use the included DisplayPort and USB cables to connect your computers to the KVM. The plug-and-play B024-DPU16 requires no software, so you can connect and use it immediately. It works with all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Sun and Linux.

USB Hub Lets You Share Peripherals between Computers

The built-in dual-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub allows you to share USB peripherals, such as printers, hard drives, scanners, webcams and flash drives, between all connected computers. Because the USB ports operate independently, you can print documents from one computer while working on a different computer. The hub is backward compatible with earlier USB generations. LEDs indicate which computer is using the connected USB device.

Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K Video and High-Definition Audio

The B024-DPU16 supports true 4K video (4096 x 2160) at 60 Hz and 2.1-channel surround sound with full bass response. With independent audio switching, you can listen to music or other audio from one computer while working on a different computer. The front-panel audio jacks have priority over the rear-panel jacks.

Stack Units to Expand Your Workstation and Enhance Your Productivity

Stack as many as eight B024-DPU16 KVM switches on a level surface to take advantage of multi-display mode. Depending on the number of stages in your stack, your installation may offer dual-display, triple-display, quad-display or multi-display scenarios, up to eight stages.

Designed for Convenient Mounting with Included Hardware

The heavy-duty metal housing comes with mounting hardware for 1U installation in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack. It also allows desktop deployment on included rubber feet that help prevent the unit from sliding. The included power supply comes with a detachable C13-to-C14 cord.

Connects 2 Computers to a Single Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse
This compact two-port NetDirector® KVM switch lets you access and control two desktop, laptop or notebook computers at the same time. Both computers share one DisplayPort monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse, which saves space on your desk or workspace. The B032-DPUA2 works with Windows, Mac and Linux.

Built-In Cables for Fast and Simple Setup
All necessary cables are built right into the KVM switch. Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers to the switch's console ports. Then, connect the DisplayPort, USB and 3.5 mm audio cables to the appropriate ports on your computers. The plug-and-play KVM switch requires no software, drivers or external power supply, so you can connect and use it immediately. Use the built-in remote port selector for quick and easy toggling between computers. In addition, the remote port selector allows you to enable/disable your monitor's auto-detection mode preventing lost productivity while waiting for your monitor to turn back on. Green LEDs indicate which computer is currently selected.

Connect a USB Hub to Share Peripherals between Computers
By connecting a powered USB hub (not included) to the USB console mouse port, you'll be able to share multiple USB peripherals, such as printers, hard drives, scanners, webcams and flash drives, between the two computers.

Transmits Crystal-Clear 4K Video and Digital Audio
To send digital audio and Ultra High Definition video to a 4K-ready DisplayPort television, projector or monitor, connect the corresponding port to the display using a DisplayPort cable (such as Tripp Lite's P580-Series DP cables, sold separately). The KVM switch supports Ultra HD video resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 30 Hz.
