The KVM switch with LCD monitor ATEN KL1508A features a foldable 17-inch LCD monitor with LED backlighting, as well as an independently retractable keyboard unit with a touchpad. The KL1508A KVM switch is a control unit that allows IT administrators to manage multiple computers from the built-in LCD console as well as an additional PS/2 or USB KVM console. Exclusive LED lighting, developed by ATEN, illuminates the keyboard and touchpad for visibility in low-light conditions. It includes an integrated KVM console with a 17-inch LCD screen with LED backlighting in a dual-rail design. A single console can control up to 8 computers. Space-saving RJ-45 ports and Cat 5e/6 cabling are utilized. KVM adapters with automatic signal conversion allow for more flexible connection combinations (PS/2, USB, Sun, and serial) to control all types of computers. The OSD tree structure simplifies the searching and managing of computers. Conveniently arranged station and port selection buttons enable quick switching to the desired computer. The dual-rail housing is slightly lower than a 1U slot, making it easy to fit into an available bay in a 19-inch rack. An additional console port allows you to manage the computers connected to the LCD KVM switch via an external console (monitor, USB or PS/2 keyboard, and USB or PS/2 mouse). There is also an additional hot-pluggable USB mouse port on the front that supports HID devices for keyboard and mouse.
