Crash Cart Adapter

The Black Box KVT100A is a USB to VGA adapter that turns a laptop into a portable KVM console for server management. It connects directly to a target system via integrated VGA and USB Type A plugs while linking to the laptop through a Mini USB 2.0 port. Software on the laptop emulates full keyboard, video and mouse control without installing drivers on the target machine. Administrators can troubleshoot crashed servers without a dedicated monitor or keyboard.

Integrated Cable Build

The adapter ships with a fixed cable ending in HD15 male VGA and USB Type A male connectors for the server side. A detachable Mini USB Type B male to USB Type A male cable bridges the adapter to the laptop. This all-in-one design removes the need for separate video and USB cables, freeing space in a tool bag. The unit measures 1.5 cm high, 7.4 cm wide and 11.5 cm deep, weighing 0.2 kg. CE approval is included.

Replaces Rack Consoles

This adapter replaces a rack-mounted KVM console or a crash cart for occasional server access. It is suited for technicians who need quick, driver-free entry to VGA and USB equipped targets running Windows or Mac OS X. The jump is worth it when a permanent console is not justified or when physical access to the rack is limited. It does not serve builders who need multi-port switching, digital video inputs or IP-based remote management.

Questions about this item

How long is the integrated cable that plugs into the server?

The adapter body measures 4.5 inches deep, and the integrated cable adds reach to the server's VGA and USB ports.

Does the adapter need external power or cooling when used continuously?

It draws power from the laptop's USB 2.0 port and has no fan, so heat and noise stay minimal during all-day sessions.

Which laptop port must be free to run the console software?

A USB Type A port running USB 2.0 is required for the detachable Mini-B to Type-A cable.
