The SharkRack 40-LCD-17-S8P is a ""plug and play"" keyboard and monitor solution in only 1RU (Rack Unit = 1.75 inches). It combines a high quality, high brightness 17 inch TFT-LCD display, a complete keyboard and a 1"" trackball. The monitor has a high contrast ratio, wide-viewing angle and high-speed response time. The keyboard/trackball is very rugged, yet has a very smooth keystroke. This solution provides IT professionals with many years of reliable performance for their systems.

The 40-LCD-17-S8P is an excellent companion product to our KVM-8, eight port KVM switch. When connected to the KVM-8, the LCD-17-S8P becomes truly universal, working with products from HP, IBM, Dell, Compaq, Sun, and others. But unlike competing products, the 40-LCD-17-S8P also offers a full function keyboard complete with Sun compatible keys that administrators of Sun systems use on a daily basis. The LCD display is also Sun compatible with a pixel display ratio native to the Sun platform (1152x900). This extra level of convenience and compatibility ensures that this product has a life beyond the systems for which it was initially purchased, adding years of value.
