Purpose and audience

The ATEN KA7970 is a USB KVM adapter cable with a built-in 14.5 ft Cat5 link for connecting a USB-interface computer to a Cat5-based KVM switch. It targets administrators who manage servers or workstations from a single console and want a ready-made cable that removes the need to terminate or purchase separate Cat5 runs. The 15 ft overall length suits standard rack or desk spacing.

Upgrade path

This adapter replaces a setup that would require a separate Cat5 patch cord plus a USB-to-KVM dongle, combining both into one assembly with three connectors. The jump is worth it when you need a tidy, hot-pluggable link that supports video up to 1600x1200 within 145 ft of the switch and an orange link LED confirms the connection instantly. No custom cabling or extra parts are required.

Fit and alternatives

It suits IT staff who deploy ATEN Cat5 KVM switches and prefer a compact, factory-terminated cable for USB keyboard, mouse and HDB-15 video. Buyers who need a different video connector, a longer reach than 15 ft, or a non-Cat5 interconnect should look at other adapter models.
