Switch KVM ATEN CL1308N montaggio rack nero PS/2 USB VGA

The ATEN CL1308N is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch with an integrated 19" LED-backlit LCD, full keyboard and touchpad in a sliding housing. It supports both PS/2 and USB keyboard/mouse connections and provides VGA video output, allowing centralized access and control of multiple servers from a single keyboard‑monitor‑mouse console. Up to 8 units can be cascaded to control up to 128 connected computers. The unit supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and comes in a black finish suitable for standard server racks.

Advantages

The CL1308N combines an LCD monitor, keyboard and touchpad in a 1U sliding rack housing to save rack space and reduce cabling complexity. It accepts PS/2 and USB peripherals for broad compatibility and intercepts keyboard input directly, removing the need for additional configuration software. Cascading capability expands the number of manageable computers while a multilingual on-screen display (OSD) and multiple switching methods—front-panel buttons, hotkeys, or OSD—simplify operation.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers with limited rack space
• IT administrators managing multiple servers from a single console
• Environments that require both PS/2 and USB peripheral support
• Racks where VGA video output and up to 1920 x 1200 resolution are acceptable

How to use

Install the CL1308N into a standard 19" rack using the sliding housing or optional rack-mount kit. Connect each server to the switch using the appropriate KVM cables (VGA for video and PS/2 or USB for keyboard/mouse as required). Power the unit and use the front-panel buttons, keyboard hotkey combinations, or the multilingual on-screen display (OSD) to switch between connected computers. For cascading, connect additional compatible ATEN KVM switches according to the provided cabling and addressing instructions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality VGA and PS/2/USB cables of recommended length, ensure the rack provides adequate ventilation, and consult the ATEN compatibility list for optional rack-mount kits and interconnect cables when planning cascaded setups.
