Integrated 19" LCD console
The ATEN CL1308N is a rack-mount KVM switch with a built-in 19-inch LCD panel, keyboard and touchpad in a 1U form factor. It provides direct control of eight computers through SPHD-17 ports and supports cascading to manage up to 128 systems. Dual PS/2 and USB interfaces allow connection to legacy and current hardware from a single console.
Suitable for mixed PS/2 and USB environments
This unit fits administrators who need local rack access to servers using either PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse connections. It is not intended for operators who require remote IP-based management or digital video inputs such as DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort. Buyers needing higher video resolutions than 1280×1024 should consider alternative solutions.
Maximum 128 computers via two-level cascade
The key specification is the ability to cascade up to eight switches across two levels, expanding the direct eight-port capacity to 128 connected computers. Video support is limited to 1280×1024 at 75 Hz with DDC2B signalling. Power input accepts 100–240 VAC at 50–60 Hz with a standard IEC60320/C14 socket.
