Eight-pack server interface units
This pack contains eight B078-101-USB-1 units that link USB-equipped servers to compatible B070- or B072-series NetCommander KVM switches. Each unit is new and ready for rack deployment without additional software.
HD15, USB-A and RJ45 connections
Every unit provides a male HD15 connector, two male USB-A connectors and a female RJ45 port so a single Cat5e cable carries video, keyboard and mouse signals. The bundled eight-pack simplifies large-scale rollouts by supplying identical interfaces for multiple servers at once.
Cat5e distance and series constraints
The link relies on Cat5e cabling between the server interface and the KVM switch, so cable length and quality set the practical reach. Only B070- and B072-series NetCommander switches are supported; other KVM models will not work with these units.

Questions about this item
Do the HD15 and USB-A connectors on each server interface unit wear out and need replacement?
The HD15 male and USB-A male connectors are rated for standard mating cycles; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the unit.
What is the maximum cable length before signal loss appears on the Cat5e link?
Cat5e cable runs up to 15 metres are supported between the server interface unit and the B070 or B072-series NetCommander switch.
Does the unit generate noticeable heat or fan noise when left running continuously?
The server interface unit is passive with no fan or active circuitry, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat.
