Raloy RWX119 Review
The Raloy RWX119 is an integrated 1U LCD console KVM drawer scaling from 8 to 32 ports with modular expansion, combining the switch, monitor, keyboard, and touchpad in one rack-mount unit, priced on request.
This is the all-in-one console drawer common in colocation facilities - rather than a separate switch box plus a rack monitor and keyboard tray, the RWX119 folds all three into one 1U slide-out unit, and the port count scales by daisy-chaining expansion modules rather than buying a bigger single chassis.
The Rack Console-Drawer Approach
Instead of a standalone switch feeding a separate monitor/keyboard tray, the RWX119 integrates an LCD, keyboard, and touchpad into a single 1U slide-out drawer - the standard approach for colocation racks where every rack unit is billed space.
Scaling from 8 to 32 Ports
The 8-32 port range comes from chaining expansion units off a base switch rather than a single fixed chassis, letting a facility start small and grow port count as more servers are racked.
Comparison to Alternatives
Versus the SmartAVI SKM-08S - a fixed 8-port switch without an integrated LCD console, requiring a separate rack monitor. Versus the Raloy RSA-KVM110 - a similarly Raloy-branded switch scaling 8-16 ports but without the integrated console drawer. Versus the Raritan Dominion KX III - adds IP-based remote access on top of local switching, worth it for facilities needing off-site management, not just an on-site console.
