Lenovo 4X97A11107 Thinksystem D-usb Cable for Digital KVM

Lenovo 4X97A11107 ThinkSystem D-USB Cable for Digital KVM

Overview

The Lenovo 4X97A11107 is a D-USB cable designed for use with Lenovo ThinkSystem digital KVM switches. If you're deploying or expanding a rack-based KVM infrastructure in a data center or server room, this cable provides the USB interface connection between the KVM switch and the target server — keeping your console switching setup clean and functional without relying on improvised alternatives. At 2 lb, it's a straightforward cable component that slots into Lenovo's Lenovo ThinkSystem rack management ecosystem.

Compatibility

The 4X97A11107 is engineered for Lenovo ThinkSystem digital KVM switches and compatible KVM switching infrastructure within the ThinkSystem server line. It uses a USB interface (UNSPSC 26121620 — data cables and connectors), which aligns with standard USB-based KVM connectivity for server console access. Confirm compatibility against your specific ThinkSystem KVM switch model before ordering — Lenovo's digital KVM product line includes several generations, and cable requirements vary by switch model and port configuration. For broader server management accessories in your rack build, verify that your KVM switch model explicitly lists this part number in its accessory or spare-parts documentation.

Installation Notes

Route the cable between the KVM switch port and the target server's USB console port. USB interface connections are tool-free, but ensure adequate cable management clearance in the rack — at 2 lb, the cable has meaningful mass that should be supported to avoid strain on port connectors over time. Lenovo's rack cable management guides recommend securing cables at regular intervals to prevent sag-induced port stress in dense 1U/2U server deployments.
