“We’ve expanded our line of KVM Switches by adding yet another level of versatility and affordability,” said David Posner, Tripp Lite’s Director of Product Marketing for Connectivity Products. “Our new line of NetController KVM Switches cannot only be daisy-chained to each other for easy customization, all three models are also rackmountable and include a 4-port switch that Tripp Lite has never offered before. They also give the user a choice of USB or PS/2 inputs for the keyboard and mouse, along with a choice of USB or PS/2 attachment to the computer. With this new combination of features, our NetController KVM Switches will offer functionality and flexibility to network and IT administrators throughout their business day.”
