16-port VGA KVM console
The StarTech RKCONS1716K integrates a 17-inch active-matrix TFT LCD, keyboard and touchpad into a 1U rackmount chassis. It provides local control for up to 16 servers or PCs through VGA and USB or PS/2 connections. The console supports video resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz with a 5:4 aspect ratio. A single operator can manage the entire server room from this unit.
Rack integration and cabling
The console occupies 1.70 inches of vertical rack space and includes mounting rails, M5 cage nuts and screws for installation. Sixteen VGA KVM cables are supplied, each carrying video, USB and PS/2 signals to the connected computers. International power cords for five regions are provided, allowing the 100-240 V AC supply to be used worldwide. Two USB 2.0 and two PS/2 ports on the console accept local keyboard and mouse input.
Sustained operation
The LCD panel delivers 250 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast and 16.7 million colours with a 5 ms response time. Viewing angles reach 170° horizontal and 160° vertical for clear visibility in a rack aisle. The unit draws 23 W at 1.5 A input current and operates continuously between 0°C and 40°C at 10-80% relative humidity. An MTBF of 50,000 hours indicates long-term reliability under constant use.

Questions about this item
Will the 17-inch TFT LCD panel overheat during continuous 24-hour operation?
The unit is rated for 0°C to 40°C ambient temperature and consumes 23W, so typical rack airflow keeps it within limits.
Does the console draw more than 1.5 A at 100 V AC when all 16 ports are active?
Maximum input current is specified as 1.5 A across the 100-240 V range, covering full 16-port use.
Must I supply my own VGA cables to connect the 16 servers, or are they included?
The package includes 16 KVM cables, so no additional VGA cables are required for the 16 connections.
