The portable KVM console-to-USB 2.0 laptop crash cart adapter transforms your notebook or netbook into a portable server assistance station, eliminating the need to transport a large, heavy, and impractical monitor along with a keyboard and mouse. This adapter routes the VGA signal from a host computer to a laptop and emulates the output signals of the laptop for mouse and keyboard, allowing for easy control of servers, PCs, or other headless devices. This USB KVM from StarTech.com is especially useful when you are on your way to the data center, as it can be used from the back of the rack. When troubleshooting issues that require changing cables or network connections, this is a significant time-saver.

Thanks to its portability, the adapter is particularly handy for mobile administrators or repair technicians. It is powered through the USB port and does not require any accessories for connection to most servers, nor does it need server-side software installation. The adapter is powered through the server-side USB ports, so the battery of the laptop or netbook is not drained. The laptop server KVM console adapter provides full control capabilities of the connected devices and grants immediate access to the computer's POST screen and BIOS, plus the ability to fully configure the connected PC. Administrators can connect a headless device or headless server without having to purchase an expensive LCD rack-mounted console or a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The adapter comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime free technical support.
