Tripp Lite NetDirector B055-001-UV2CAC USB/VGA/RJ-45 KVM Cable

The TRIPP LITE B055-001-UV2CAC is a USB/VGA/RJ-45 KVM cable for IT staff and system builders connecting a compatible KVM switch in a setup that uses VGA video and USB connections.

Recommended For

• Data-center and IT administrators connecting a USB/VGA server to a compatible B064-IPG or B064-IPH NetDirector KVM over Cat5e/6.
• Server-room teams managing equipment across a rack or cabinet who want to use Cat5e/6 runs—up to 50 m—instead of bulkier traditional KVM cable kits.
• Administrators whose compatible B064 KVM workflow requires Common Access Card (CAC) support for server authentication.
• IT staff who use a compatible B064-IPG or B064-IPH KVM’s Virtual Media feature to access media on a connected server.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• A rack administrator connects a USB/VGA server to a compatible NetDirector KVM switch, then selects that server from the KVM console for hands-on troubleshooting without moving a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the rack.
• An IT technician needs to install an operating system, apply updates, or run diagnostics on a server remotely; with a compatible switch, the connection supports virtual media so installation files or other media can be presented to the server through the KVM system.
• A server environment that uses Common Access Card authentication connects a supported server through this interface so CAC functionality can be used with a compatible NetDirector KVM setup.
• A team connecting multiple servers in a rack uses one interface unit per server and Cat5e/6 runs back to the compatible KVM switch, which can reduce the bulk of traditional KVM cable kits in the cabinet.
• When a server is positioned away from the KVM switch within a rack or equipment area, Cat5e/6 cabling can link it to the switch over a longer run, helping keep the server’s VGA and USB connections near the server.
