KVM-switch ATEN CL1308N rackmontage zwart PS/2 USB VGA 1U

The ATEN CL1308N is a 1U rack-mountable LCD KVM switch that integrates a 19-inch LED-backlit display, full keyboard and touchpad into a sliding console. It provides control of multiple servers from a single console and supports both PS/2 and USB keyboard/mouse connections as well as VGA video output. The unit is housed in a metal/plastic chassis and accepts AC power with a wide input range (100–240 V).

Advantages

The CL1308N saves rack space by combining monitor, keyboard and touchpad into a single 1U sliding module, reducing the need for separate peripherals. It supports up to 8 direct computer ports and allows cascading up to 8 additional switches to control up to 128 computers from one console. The switch requires no special software for keyboard interception and offers multiple switching methods including front-panel push-buttons, keyboard hotkeys and a multilingual on-screen display (OSD).
