16-port IP KVM switch
The ATEN CS1716I is a 16-port KVM switch that lets administrators manage multiple servers from one local console or remotely over IP. It supports USB and PS/2 computer connections through SPHD-17 ports and a single monitor output via SPHD-18. The unit is designed for rack-mounted server rooms and data centres requiring centralised hardware control.
Remote access resolution limit
Remote sessions are capped at 1600x1200 at 60 Hz with 24-bit colour, while the local console supports up to 2048x1536 via DDC2B. The integrated 10/100 Mbps LAN port handles all IP traffic, so bandwidth-heavy graphical tasks over the network will be constrained by that link speed. Daisy-chaining adds latency across the chain.
Sixteen computer ports
This model provides exactly 16 computer connection ports, expandable to 256 machines by daisy-chaining up to 15 additional units. Buyers needing more than 16 direct ports or higher remote video fidelity should evaluate other models. The switch includes two 6-foot KVM cables, a console cable, firmware cable, grounding wire, rack kit, feet, power adapter and documentation.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the USB or PS/2 cable for each server?
The pack includes one USB and one PS/2 KVM cable; use the USB cable for servers with USB ports and the PS/2 cable for servers with PS/2 ports.
What resolution will I see on the local console versus a remote browser session?
The local console supports up to 2048x1536 with DDC2B, while remote sessions are limited to 1600x1200 at 60 Hz and 24-bit colour.
Does the 10/100 Mbps LAN port cap the remote session speed?
Yes, the built-in LAN port is 10/100 Mbps, so remote traffic cannot exceed 100 Mbps regardless of the upstream network.
