KVM Console to USB 2.0 Portable Laptop Crash Cart Adapter

StarTech ID: NOTECONS01

The NOTECONS01 KVM Console to USB 2.0 Portable Laptop Crash Cart Adapter turns your notebook or netbook
into a portable server crashcart, eliminating the need to lug around a large, heavy and awkward video screen,
keyboard, and mouse. This adapter delivers the VGA stream from any host computer to a laptop and emulates the
laptop mouse and keyboard outputs for simple access and control of connected servers, PCs or other "headless"
devices.

With portability for the mobile administrator or repair technician in mind, this
USB-powered adapter features a small-footprint design that requires no
additional accessories to connect to most servers, and requires no server-side
software installation. Plus, the pocket-sized adapter draws its power from the
server-side USB connections, allowing the laptop/netbook to last longer without
consuming battery power.

Ensuring full control of the connected units, the Laptop KVM Server Console
Adapter provides immediate access to the POST screen and BIOS, plus the
ability to handle full configuration of the attached PC or machine; administrators
can connect to a headless server/device without the need of an expensive LCD
rackmount console or bulky monitor, keyboard and mouse solution.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
