USB-C KVM adapter for Cat 5 switches

The ATEN KA7183 connects a USB-C target computer to any Cat 5 KVM switch through a single cable. It carries keyboard, video, mouse and virtual media or smart card data over one link. The adapter suits administrators who manage mixed fleets that include modern USB-C endpoints.

Check switch and port compatibility first

Verify that your existing KVM switch supports Cat 5 cabling before ordering this adapter. The target system must present a USB-C port able to deliver video and USB signals simultaneously. Confirm that virtual media or CAC reader functions are enabled on the switch side for full feature use.

Passive design keeps heat and noise minimal

The unit draws power from the USB-C connection and adds no active cooling, so it runs silently and generates negligible extra heat. Power consumption is limited to the signalling circuitry required for video and USB transport. No external power supply is needed in normal operation.

Questions about this item

Does the KA7183 include the Cat 5 cable that links it to my KVM switch?

The adapter connects a USB-C target computer to a Cat 5 KVM switch using a single USB-C plug; the Cat 5 cable and the KVM switch itself are sold separately.

Which version of the KA7183 should I choose for my setup?

Only one version of the KA7183 is offered, so select this model when you need USB-C virtual media and smart card or CAC reader support on a Cat 5 KVM switch.

What does the virtual media function actually do once the adapter is installed?

It lets the KVM switch present USB storage or a smart card/CAC reader to the target computer over the USB-C connection, enabling remote OS installation or secure authentication.
