Lab Makeover - StarTech.com Edition
Recently, our product testing lab, which is mainly used for product development and QA testing, underwent renovations in order to accomodate some of the technology we will be launching in the years to come.
Specifically, we needed to make sure that we are able to test our entire product line (including I/O cards, Power supplies, Storage devices, Cables, A/V and KVM) to ensure quality and performance.
The makeover included:
- A new wireless N/gigabit LAN setup
-New test bench installation - Here, we customized a bench that our product testers use when analyzing products. The new bench is designed to provide enough desk space to accomodate any supplemental equipment that may be required, or multiple products being tested at the same time.
- Integrated cabling - Cables are now routed to eliminate clutter in the testing area. Because the new and improved Test Lab is considerably larger than the original, this helps to maintain a clean working area for our testers. This involved the installation of patch panels, as well as centralized control of test computers, using the newly installed SV1115IPEXT KVM Switch as well as the prototype for our upcoming SV1631DUTP CAT5 KVM Switch.
- The addition of new power testing equipment, including a new power supply loader and several new multimeters.
- The installation of two new PCs – an AMD Opteron and an Intel Core 2 Duo, allowing us to test products accordingly, based on each type of CPU.

USB VGA and DVI adapters to ring in the New Year!
If you've ever configured a computer for dual display, you know how much of a hassle it can be to have to install a second video card or upgrade to a graphics adapter that can support dual display configurations. We're happy to announce the release of two video solutions - the USB2DVI USB DVI adapter and the USB2VGA2 USB VGA adapter.
Both of these products offer superb graphical capability - USB2DVI connects to an available USB 2.0 port on your host computer to provide a DVI-D port for simple connection to a secondary display, and supports resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200(standard) or 1680 x 1050(widescreen). USB2VGA2 on the other hand connects to an available USB 2.0 port, but provides a VGA port supporting display resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 (32-bit) and 1920 x 1200 (16-bit).
These handy devices are a clever accessory for setting up multiple monitors without even having to open your computer case, and are compact enough to fit in your notebook carrying case - making them perfect not only for dual or multi display desktop configurations, but also mobile applications that may need an extended or secondary display.
