Digitus 17 inch HD LCD KVM Console 16-Port HDMI German Keyboard

The DIGITUS 17" HD TFT console is a modular 1U rackmount unit that combines a 17" 1920x1080 (60 Hz) monitor, a 16‑port HDMI KVM switch and an integrated mouse touchpad with two function buttons. Designed for space‑saving installation in server racks, the console supports 16.7 million colors, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and HDMI interface connectivity. Its modular design allows upgrades and retrofitting of additional modules to match changing data‑center requirements.

Advantages

The compact 1U housing (black RAL 9005) saves rack space while providing centralised control of up to 16 HDMI-connected servers. The built-in 16‑port HDMI KVM switch simplifies cable management and reduces the need for separate devices. A German QWERTZ keyboard layout (as indicated in the product title) and an integrated touchpad with two function buttons enable direct, efficient interaction. The modular concept increases longevity by allowing later expansion or replacement of individual components.

Recommendations

Place the console in a well-ventilated rack position and secure all HDMI connections. For optimal display performance, use high-quality HDMI cables and ensure connected servers output at 1920×1080@60Hz. When planning rack layouts, account for the 1U height and the gross package weight during installation.
