USB KVM Adapter Cable
The ATEN KA7170 connects a KVM switch to a single computer using one RJ-45 link. It carries VGA video and USB signals through a compact, lightweight cable assembly. The package includes the adapter cable, a rack-mount kit and a mounting guide. RoHS and WEEE certifications confirm environmental compliance.
Target users and limits
This adapter suits administrators managing one server from a compatible KVM switch over Cat5 cabling. It is not for setups that require DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort video outputs. Buyers needing to control multiple computers from one cable or requiring audio support should look at other solutions.
Deciding specification
The cable terminates in a 15-pin HD-15 Male VGA connector and a Type A Male USB plug on the computer side. A single RJ-45 Female Network port links back to the KVM switch. Verify that your switch and target computer match these exact interfaces before ordering.

Questions about this item
What physical space does the KA7170 adapter cable and its rack-mount kit require?
The adapter cable weighs 3.53 oz and ships with a rack-mount kit and mounting guide for installation in a standard equipment rack.
How do I connect the KA7170 to the target computer and what step is often missed?
Plug the HD-15 Male VGA and Type A Male USB connectors into the computer's video and USB ports, then link the RJ-45 Female Network port to the KVM switch with a Cat5 cable; the Cat5 link is the step users forget.
What maintenance or replacement items will the KA7170 need over time?
The adapter cable itself has no moving parts or user-serviceable components; only the Cat5 patch cable linking the RJ-45 port to the KVM switch may need replacement if damaged.
