Keep critical systems within reach without giving up rack space. The StarTech RKCONS1708K places a 17-inch LCD, keyboard, and touchpad into a 1U console designed for direct, local control of up to 8 connected PCs or servers. For administrators managing mixed server rooms, it reduces the need for separate peripherals while preserving a clean, serviceable rack layout. The 17-inch display supports resolutions up to 1,280 x 1,024, giving you a practical view for BIOS access, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance. The included 8 VGA KVM cables, mounting rails, and M5 cage nuts and screws simplify deployment, so the console arrives ready for rack integration rather than requiring a separate accessory hunt. Built for environments where uptime and access matter, this console is a strong fit for server rooms, network closets, and edge deployments that need dependable local management. The 1U footprint helps preserve rack density, while the integrated design removes cable sprawl and speeds hands-on work at the rack. Backed by a 2-year warranty, it is a purposeful choice for teams that want a durable control point instead of a temporary workaround.
