Tripp Lite NetDirector USB Server Interface Unit with Virtual Media & CAC Support (B064-Series), TAA

The Tripp Lite B055-001-UV2CAC is a USB server interface unit that lets you connect a single USB server to any Tripp Lite NetDirector B064 Series KVM switch through a standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. By replacing thick KVM cable bundles with one small adapter and a network patch lead, it frees valuable space in crowded racks and helps keep airflow paths clear.

Because the adapter supports Virtual Media, you can map a local drive or image file to the remote server and handle software installs, patches, or backups without leaving your seat. Built-in support for Common Access Cards allows users who rely on smart-card authentication to log in just as they would at the physical console, which is essential in secure environments that follow government or military guidelines.

Installation is straightforward. No external power brick or special drivers are required; simply clip the adapter onto the server’s USB port, run a patch cable to the KVM switch, and you are ready to work. The link remains reliable at distances up to 164 feet (50 meters), so you can place servers wherever they fit best without giving up keyboard, video, or mouse control.

This unit fits naturally in data centers, branch offices, and test labs where space savings and clean cable management matter. It is especially useful in federal, state, and local facilities thanks to its TAA compliance, which meets the purchasing rules for GSA schedules.

Tripp Lite backs the adapter with a three-year limited warranty, adding peace of mind for IT teams who demand dependable hardware in mission-critical racks.
