Middle Atlantic RM-KB-LCD17HD 1U Rackmount LCD Console with Keyboard and Touchpad
Overview
The RM-KB-LCD17HD is a 1U rackmount console from Middle Atlantic that integrates a 17.3-inch HD widescreen display, keyboard, and touchpad into a single rack space — the right fit for security operations centers, server rooms, and network closets where dedicated KVM access is needed without burning extra rack real estate. At 1.73 inches high and 18.9 inches wide, it occupies exactly one rack unit and slides out for use, then retracts to keep the rack front clear when not in active use. The metal chassis keeps the unit rigid under repeated daily use. TAA-compliant construction makes it eligible for federal and government-sector deployments subject to trade agreement requirements.
Compatibility
The RM-KB-LCD17HD fits standard 19-inch EIA racks with a minimum usable mounting depth of 21.63 inches — confirm your rack's usable depth before ordering, as shallow-depth wall-mount enclosures or compact relay racks under 22 inches of usable depth will not accommodate it. The unit extends to 29.23 inches at full draw, so factor rear-panel cable management and any existing rear-mounted patch panels or PDUs when planning installation. It is compatible with Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and open-frame racks meeting standard 19-inch rail spacing. Four mounting points provide secure engagement with the rack rails. Works alongside rackmount power and UPS equipment in integrated rack builds, and pairs naturally with network video recorders in surveillance rack configurations requiring local console access.
Installation Notes
Minimum mounting depth of 21.63 inches is a hard constraint — measure available depth from rail face to any obstruction at the rear of the rack before installation. Full extension depth reaches 29.23 inches, so rear cable trays or vertical PDUs must not block the slide travel. Shipping weight is 41.5 lbs; two-person installation is advisable for safe handling and precise rail engagement. The unit mounts using 4 standard rack mounting points on standard rackmount hardware. Review Middle Atlantic's full rack accessory line for compatible rail kits and cable management solutions if not already specified.
