Tripp Lite B055-001-USB-VA NetDirector USB Server Interface Unit with Virtual Media Support and Audio (B064-IPG Series)

The B055-001-USB-VA NetDirector® USB Server Interface Unit connects a server or computer with HD15 VGA video, 3.5 mm audio and USB mouse/keyboard ports to a compatible B064-IPG Series KVM switch. Using Cat5e/6 cabling, you can locate the KVM switch up to 164 feet (50 meters) from the server.

Allowing the server to access the KVM switch’s Virtual Media functionality via low-cost Cat5e/6 cable eliminates the need for bulky KVM cables. This frees up precious space in your server cabinet, and allows for better ventilation and longer cable runs. Running cable through conduit and other tight spaces takes advantage of the increased flexibility when setting up your network application.

No software or external power supply is needed. The unit’s compact, lightweight design is plug-and-play for immediate installation and deployment. It complies with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule purchases.

Note: SIUs that were purchased prior to that of your KVM switch may require a firmware upgrade in order for them to work properly (see Maintenance under OSD Operation section of your B064-Series KVM Owner's Manual for details)
