How many computers can I control with daisy-chaining?
By cascading multiple B070-series switches, you can expand beyond 8 ports. Contact the Procure.ae team for guidance on multi-switch configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of an integrated console drawer in a 1U rack footprint?
The NetCommander console drawer combines a 19-inch LCD, keyboard, and touchpad in a single 1U unit that slides out from the rack, eliminating the need for separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse hardware stacked beside the rack. This saves space and reduces cable clutter in tight data center environments.
How does Cat5e cabling allow servers to be placed 100 feet away from the console?
Cat5e patch cables support extended distance transmission of KVM signals, allowing you to position servers in a separate room or across a large data center floor whilst maintaining the console drawer in a central management location. This flexibility is crucial for facilities with distributed server architectures.
Can the touchpad reduce the need for a separate mouse in console operations?
Yes, the integrated touchpad provides pointer control for graphical interfaces and menu navigation without requiring a separate mouse. This is particularly helpful in fast-paced troubleshooting or when console access points are not equipped with full desk space.
How many servers can I manage if I need to scale beyond 8 ports?
The 8-port console supports daisy-chaining to control more servers, though the practical scalability depends on your cascading strategy. Consult with Procure.ae to design a multi-unit architecture if your deployment requires more than 8 direct connections.
What types of servers is this console compatible with?
The B070-008-19 supports standard rack-mount servers with VGA and PS/2 or USB keyboard/mouse interfaces. If your servers use HDMI or DisplayPort, you will need a compatible converter or a different model.
Is the 19-inch LCD suitable for long shifts of server administration?
A 19-inch display provides adequate screen real estate for console interfaces and monitoring dashboards during extended shifts. The LCD quality and refresh rate are optimized for text-based BIOS, boot sequences, and administrative screens rather than high-end graphics.
What lead times should I expect for delivery to a data center in Dubai or Riyadh?
Lead times vary based on current stock levels and your location within the GCC. Contact Procure.ae with your facility details and required delivery date to receive an accurate quote and scheduling confirmation.
Does Procure.ae handle rack integration or cabinet installation services?
Procure.ae supplies the hardware and can provide guidance on installation practices. For hands-on rack integration, discuss your facility requirements with Procure.ae to determine what support options are available.
What is included in the box with the NetCommander console drawer?
The package includes the 1U console drawer unit with integrated 19-inch LCD, keyboard, and touchpad, along with Cat5 cables for server connectivity. Contact Procure.ae to confirm if any additional cables or mounting hardware are bundled.
Does this console drawer support both analog VGA and digital video inputs?
The B070-008-19 is designed for VGA (analog) video input. If your servers output HDMI or DisplayPort exclusively, you will need an adapter or a different KVM model.
What power requirements does the integrated LCD console have?
The unit requires standard AC power for the LCD display and electronics. Contact Procure.ae for specific voltage and power consumption specifications before installation.
