MCD-LED17108: 17" LED console drawer 

with integrated CAT-5 analog/digital KVM switch 


Employing state-of-the-art technologies in a compact device, Raritan's MasterConsole Digital 17" LED console drawer with integrated KVM switch (MCD-LED) provides reliability, ease of use, and convenience that you need in your data center, lab or server room. The LED backlit LCD KVM switch and console drawer combination (MCD-LED) is a 17-inch LCD rack console and CAT-5 KVM switch integrated into a single rack access solution for SMB and server room environments.

Raritan's MasterConsole Digital LED console drawer with integrated KVM switch (MCD-LED) consolidates access and control of multiple servers with a single console. It features KVM ports for 8 servers and can be cascaded two levels to support up to 256 connections. MCD-LED switch uses standard Category 5/6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables or dongles for connecting computers.

MasterConsole DigitalMCD-LED supports the highest HD video resolution of up to 1920x1080 Full HD 1080p via standard Category5/6. Its video interface supports inputs from both analog (VGA) and digital (DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort) video connections.

MCD-LED allows one user to access and control servers via independent KVM sessions at the rack. The user can employ MasterConsole Digital Computer Interface Modules (MDCIMs) connectors for distances up to 150 feet. If servers are local, users can employ MDUTP cables — the next generation UTP combo cable available from Raritan’s mature CAT-5 technology.

MCD-LED console drawer with integrated KVM switch provides a friendly OSD (On-Screen Display) interface and hot-keys to access to connected computers. MCD-LED supports MS-DOS, Windows®, Linux® (Red Hat, Novell® Suse), Macintosh® OS9, OSX and SCO UNIX® operating systems.

MasterConsole Digital consists of two components: the LED console drawer with integrated KVM switch; Computer Interface Modules (MDCIMs) or VGA KVM combo cables (MDUTPs). Both connect to the keyboard, video (DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort/VGA) and mouse ports of each server and provide fail-safe server access with Raritan's dedicated keyboard/mouse emulation.

MasterConsole Digital supports USB keyboards and mouse interfaces, HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort digital video inputs via CIMs and analog VGA video via MDUTP combo UTP cables.

MCD-LEDBuilding upon Raritan's history of success with KVM switches, MasterConsole Digital is ideal for performing system maintenance, administration, running applications, and troubleshooting. Raritan's MasterConsole Digital LED console drawer with integrated KVM switch (MCD-LED) is ideal for small to midsized businesses (SMB) who need to have a centralized point of access to multiple servers without the expense and clutter of a dedicated keyboard, mouse, and monitor for each compute ro rserver.

Connecting computers
MCD-LED switch uses standard Category5/6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables or dongles for connecting computers in two forms: Computer Interface Modules (MDCIMs), and VGA KVM combo cables (MDUTPs). Both connect to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of each serve rand provide fail-safe server access with Raritan's dedicated keyboard/mouse emulation.

Computer Interface Modules (CIMs) for MasterConsole Digital are "server dongles" that connect a PC, server or workstation to the MasterConsole® Digital via a CAT-5/6 cable. MasterConsole Digital supports USB keyboards and mouse interfaces, and HDMI/DVI/DisplatPort digital video inputs via MDCIMs.

VGA KVM combo cables (MDUTPs) are the new generation UTP KVM combo cable for MCD-LED models. They integrate Raritan's VGA CIM and UTP cable together as one single cable. The installation is much easier than using CIMs. It is also easy for cabling and maintenance purposes. MasterConsole Digital supports USB keyboards and mouse interfaces and VGA analog video inputs via MDUTP cables.
