Tripp Lite 8-Port 4K HDMI/USB KVM Switch, 4K 60 Hz Video/Audio, USB Peripheral Sharing, 1U Rack-Mount, TAA

The Tripp Lite B024-H4U08 is an eight port KVM switch that lets you run up to eight computers from one workstation built around a single 4K HDMI display, a USB keyboard, and a mouse. It brings everything together in a 1U rack mount housing, so you can streamline crowded server racks, production suites, or any workspace that juggles multiple systems.

The HDMI output supports full 4K video at 4096 x 2160 and 60 hertz, so graphics professionals, AV technicians, and anyone who needs crisp detail do not have to sacrifice picture quality to gain control efficiency. Because the switch works with Windows, macOS, and Linux, you can mix operating systems on the same rack and manage them from one console without additional adapters.

Switching between computers is flexible. You can press the front panel buttons during hands-on work, trigger hotkeys from the keyboard, or use the on screen display when you prefer a menu-driven approach. A USB hub built into the unit lets two USB 3.2 Gen 1 peripherals such as scanners, external drives, or smart card readers stay connected and available to every computer on the KVM. If your environment grows, you can cascade up to three levels of the switch and reach as many as 512 computers from the same console.

Setup is straightforward. The switch arrives with the rack brackets and cables you need, and the plug and play design means no software has to be installed on the connected computers. A metal chassis protects the internal electronics for round-the-clock operation, and TAA compliance meets government procurement requirements. Altogether, it is a practical fit for data centers, post-production studios, test labs, or any space that values clear 4K video and consolidated control.
