Two-computer KVM control
The ATEN CS1732A lets one VGA monitor, USB keyboard and USB mouse operate two computers through a single console. Front-panel push buttons and configurable hotkeys give instant switching between the connected systems.
Bundled cables and firmware cable
Two integrated KVM cables combine video, USB and stereo audio connections for each computer so no separate leads are required. A dedicated firmware upgrade cable allows the switch to receive future updates without additional hardware.
Suits dual-PC workstations with VGA and USB 1.1
Ideal for administrators managing a pair of legacy or mixed-OS machines that still use HDDB-15 video and USB 1.1 peripherals. Not suited for setups needing digital video inputs, higher than 2048 x 1536 resolution or more than two computer ports.

Questions about this item
Does the CS1732A have any internal fans or batteries that will need replacing later?
The unit has no internal fans or batteries; it draws power from the DC 5V 2.1A adapter, so only the external power supply may need replacement over time.
What video bandwidth limit appears first when the switch runs continuously at 2048 x 1536?
The VGA console port is rated for 2048 x 1536; sustained operation at that resolution stays within the specified video bandwidth of the switch.
How much heat or fan noise does the CS1732A produce when left on all day?
The switch is passively cooled with no fan, so it generates only modest warmth from the DC 5V 2.1A input and runs silently during continuous use.
