8-Port Rackmount KVM Switch
The TRENDnet TK-803R is an 8-port rackmount KVM switch that lets administrators control up to eight computers or servers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse console. It occupies a standard 1U rack space and provides VGA video switching with USB and PS/2 console connectivity. Hot-key and front-panel push-button switching give immediate access to any connected system. The unit supports hot-plugging so servers can be added or removed without downtime.
Suited for server rooms needing mixed USB
This switch fits environments where legacy PS/2 peripherals must coexist with modern USB keyboards and mice at the console while the server side uses USB only. It runs on Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac OS without extra drivers. Buyers who require digital video interfaces such as DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort should look elsewhere, as the TK-803R provides analogue VGA only. It also does not support IP-based remote management or audio switching.
VGA HDB 15-pin video interface with 8 ports
The decisive specification is the eight VGA HDB 15-pin female ports on the PC side paired with a single VGA HDB 15-pin male console port, which limits video to analogue VGA resolutions and dictates cable selection. Console-side USB Type-A and PS/2 ports accept either peripheral type, while each server connects through a USB Type-A link. Confirm that every target system provides VGA output and USB keyboard/mouse ports before deployment.

Questions about this item
How do I install the TK-803R and which connection step is often missed?
Rack-mount the switch, plug each computer into one of the eight VGA HDB 15-pin ports using a combined VGA/USB cable, then connect the console VGA and USB cables; the step users forget is attaching the USB link for every server so keyboard and mouse signals reach the console.
What maintenance or replacement will the TK-803R need over time?
The switch has no user-serviceable parts; if a port fails or firmware updates are required, replace the entire unit or contact TRENDnet support during the two-year manufacturer protection period.
What limit appears first when the TK-803R runs continuously in a server room?
The hard limit is eight connected computers; once all eight VGA HDB 15-pin ports are occupied, no further servers can be added without removing an existing connection.
