Dual Slide Rackmount LCD & KVM Consoles

iTech dual slide rackmount LCD consoles combine an LCD monitor, keyboard and pointing device in a space-saving rackmount drawer. Unlike a conventional single-slide console, the LCD display and keyboard tray operate on separate sliding rails, allowing the monitor to remain visible while the keyboard is stored inside the rack.
 
Dual slide rackmount LCD and KVM consoles are available in 1U and 2U configurations with options for integrated KVM switches, USB or PS/2 interfaces, touchscreen, SUN-compatible keyboards and multiple video inputs. These systems are well suited for server rooms, industrial control systems, production equipment and other applications requiring continuous display monitoring.

What Is a Dual Slide Rackmount LCD?

A dual slide rackmount LCD uses two independent sliding mechanisms: one for the LCD display and another for the keyboard and pointing device. This allows the LCD to remain extended and visible while the keyboard tray is pushed back into the rack. Dual slide rackmount LCD consoles are also commonly referred to as dual rail rackmount LCD consoles because the display and keyboard operate on separate rail mechanisms.
