ATEN CL5708N 19" 8-Port LCD KVM Switch

19-inch Rack-Mount LCD Console

The ATEN CL5708N integrates a 19-inch LCD monitor, keyboard and touchpad into a 1U sliding housing that mounts in a standard rack. It functions as a single KVM console for controlling multiple computers. The unit supports PS/2 or USB keyboard, video and mouse connections for broad server compatibility.

Suited for Single-Console Server Management

This switch suits administrators who need to manage up to eight computers directly from the rack and want an integrated display that slides away when not in use. It also suits environments that benefit from a single USB hub for occasional media access across first-tier servers. Buyers who need to control more than eight systems without adding daisy-chained switches should look elsewhere.

Eight Direct Ports Expandable to 256 Systems

A single CL5708N provides eight KVM ports for direct computer connections. As many as 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the unit, expanding total control capacity to 256 computers from this one console. This port count and expansion limit are the key figures for planning your deployment.
