Centralise eight VGA servers with dual local consoles
8 server connectionsDual local consolesCAT5 up to 30 m1600×1200 at 60 Hz
The TRENDnet TK-CAT508 brings keyboard, video and mouse control of up to eight compatible servers to two local console positions. Dedicated CAT5 links connect the switch to separate server interface modules, helping organise VGA server access without a long individual KVM cable bundle for every machine. OSD selection and keyboard hotkeys support local administration.
Best For: Small server rooms and legacy VGA systems needing centralised local USB or PS/2 keyboard/mouse control.
Before you order: Budget for one compatible TK-CAT5U or TK-CAT5P module per server and the required CAT5 cables. The RJ45 server ports are dedicated KVM connections, not ordinary Ethernet network ports. This is a local-console system, with no established KVM-over-IP or internet-management function.
What's in the Box
- TK-CAT508 and quick installation guide.
- USB firmware-upgrade cable, 1.2 m.
- External 9 V power adapter. Plug and adapter rating depend on supplied revision/region.
- TK-CAT5U/TK-CAT5P modules, CAT5 cabling, monitors and keyboards/mice are separate.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect up to eight compatible servers through dedicated TK-CAT5U or TK-CAT5P interface modules.
- Use TK-CAT5U for server-side VGA and USB, or TK-CAT5P for VGA and PS/2.
- Install two local console positions using VGA monitors and supported USB or PS/2 keyboards/mice.
- Choose a server using the on-screen menu or keyboard hotkeys; configure password protection and scanning for your environment.
What Will Not Work
- Dedicated RJ45 KVM links do not replace an Ethernet network switch.
- Server interface modules are required and not included in the stated package.
- Video is VGA, up to 1600×1200 at 60 Hz; no HDMI, DisplayPort or 4K capability is established.
- Use the supplied matching power adapter; manufacturer documentation lists different adapter currents across revisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The important purchase is the complete KVM path: switch, one matching module per server, suitable CAT5 runs and VGA-compatible consoles. Count those components before comparing the switch price alone. Keep the 30 m and 1600×1200 limits in the installation plan, and use the adapter supplied for the actual hardware revision.
Buyer’s Guide
