8-port Cat5 IP KVM Switch
The ATEN KH1508Ai is a 1U rack-mount KVM switch that lets one administrator control up to eight servers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse console. It connects to each server through Cat5 cabling using RJ-45 links, and adds a dedicated IP bus for remote over-IP management. The unit ships new with power cord, firmware cable, rack kit and documentation.
Cat5 cabling with RJ-45 server links
The decisive specification is the use of eight RJ-45 ports for server connections over Cat5 cable, supporting video up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz across distances of 40 metres and 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz across 50 metres. A single HDB-15 port serves the local monitor, while PS/2 and USB connectors handle local keyboard and mouse. Front push buttons and LED indicators provide local port selection and status.
Suited for dense server racks needing IP access
This switch suits environments that need high port density in 1U and require remote KVM over IP alongside local console control. It is not for buyers who need more than eight server ports, who require digital video inputs such as DVI or HDMI, or who need multi-user simultaneous access.
