Eight-port desktop control
The ATEN CS1308 is a rack-mountable KVM switch that lets one USB or PS/2 console manage eight computers. It targets administrators who need single-point access to multiple servers or workstations in a 1U space. Multiplatform support covers Windows 2000 through Vista and Linux without extra drivers. Cascade capability extends control to 64 systems across two levels.
SPHD connectors and 1U build
The unit uses SPHD-15 ports for computer links and an SPHD-18 port for the console, each carrying video, keyboard and mouse signals over a single cable. A supplied console cable and rack-mount kit enable immediate installation in standard cabinets. Metal chassis construction meets RoHS and WEEE environmental standards. Operating temperature range spans 32F to 122F with humidity up to 80 percent non-condensing.
Replaces separate keyboards and monitors
This switch removes the need for individual keyboards, mice and displays at every server, reducing hardware cost and rack clutter. The jump is worthwhile when managing more than two systems in a confined space and video resolution of 2048 x 1536 meets display requirements. Buyers who need digital video inputs, higher resolutions or remote-over-IP access should evaluate other models.
