KVM Drawer TZ1500 Overview

Raritan's KVM Drawer Model TZ1500 is the first in the industry to offer the convenience of using
standard UTP cabling to connect servers up to 1,000 feet away. The KVM Drawer TZ1500 is a 1U
19" rack mount KVM console with built-in keyboard, touchpad, and LCD monitor. It offers highly
integrated Raritan Z-Series server management and enables control of up to 42 servers via industry
standard UTP cabling.
The KVM Drawer TZ1500 has a built in Z-Series KVM switch with Cat5 Simplicity and enables
quick and efficient access to servers and other network devices, as well as allowing you to manage
the setup, administration, and maintenance of rackmount servers in data centers, server rooms, and
other space-critical industrial environments.
Raritan's innovative Z-CIM technology, built into the KVM Drawer TZ1500, enables access and
control of multiple servers from the single-user console of the KVM Drawer without consuming
valuable rack space. Through the TZ1500, you can control up to 42 servers and eliminate the
traditional KVM switch box and all extraneous cable. Z-CIM technology replaces the traditional
KVM switch-to-multiple-server cabling configuration with an innovative chain-like server-to-server
arrangement. Servers can be added at any time without interrupting server operation.
