This review is from: TRIPP LITE B070-016-19 NetCommander 19" VGA Console Cat5 KVM Switch
Pros: 16 ports, 19 inch screen, 1u format. looks to be well built, the rollers are nice and smooth. no firmware issues as the other reviewer noted, just plugged it in and it worked.
Cons: Separate module for each server is needed. For some reason Newegg cancelled my order for the modules so I had to order elsewhere. This unit is fairly expensive and if you factor in $80 for each module per server it is expensive. The Newegg specs say this is a 1600x1200 resolution which is one of the reasons I chose it, but the docs that come with the unit show 1280x1024 and that is also what my video card shows as the preferred resolution.
Other Thoughts: Not sure the difference in this and the model that is above this. I believe the main difference is that the other unit offers more / better encryption which isn't an issue for me.

Pros: - 1U KVM w/19" Screen - Connects via normal CAT5 to either USB or PS/2 Server depending on which module you use (rather than the standard KVM cables). - Option to manage over IP (requires separate module purchase) - Built in kit for 4 post rack - Excellent manufacturer support
Cons: - Might have to apply a firmware patch to get it operational.
- NetCommander modules can be a bit pricey.
Other Thoughts: Think of this as a KVM a la carte. You can add the KVM over IP module and as many of the USB or PS/2 connectors as you want - which makes this a good choice if you want to standardize, but might not need all the bells and whistles for each of your server racks.
This particular unit had a problem with the trackpad/mouse - that can be resolved by applying a firmware patch that is available for direct download. (check FAQ on product page)
