Austin Hughes 2-Port Mini USB-C IP KVM IP-C102 ($860.00) Review

The Austin Hughes IP-C102 is a 2-port mini KVM-over-IP device with USB-C video input, giving remote browser-based console access to two servers, priced at $860.00.

This is the 2-port step-up from the IP-C101 in Austin Hughes's Mini IP KVM line, and the USB-C video connection is notable since most out-of-band remote KVMs still assume HDMI or VGA servers, this one targets newer USB-C-equipped hardware directly. It's still a remote-access appliance rather than a local switch, aimed at admins who need to reach two machines' consoles over the network rather than physically switching between them at a desk.

Two Servers, Native USB-C Video

Unlike most out-of-band KVMs built around HDMI or VGA, the IP-C102 takes USB-C video input directly, matching newer compact servers and mini-PCs without an adapter.

Remote Console for Two Machines

One appliance covers remote keyboard, video and mouse access to two separate servers, doubling the IP-C101's single-server capacity at a modest price increase.

Comparison to Alternatives

Versus the Austin Hughes IP-C101 — that covers just one HDMI server at a lower price, worth it if only a single machine needs remote access. Versus the Austin Hughes IP-H104 — that scales to 4 HDMI ports, worth it for a small rack rather than USB-C-specific hardware.
