KVM-Switch ATEN CL5708M Montagem em rack Preto 1HE 17 polegadas LCD

The ATEN CL5708M Slideaway is a 1U rack-mountable KVM switch with an integrated 17" LED-backlit LCD, keyboard and touchpad that lets a single PS/2 or USB console control multiple servers. One unit supports up to 8 computers and can be daisy-chained with additional switches to manage a much larger number of systems from the same console. The CL5708M is built with a metal and plastic housing and is designed for data center and server-room environments where space-efficient, centralized access is required.

Advantages

The CL5708M combines a keyboard, 17" LCD monitor and touchpad in a compact 1U sliding housing to save rack space and provide a tidy console solution. It supports high resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 for clear video output and can be expanded via daisy-chaining to control many additional servers from one console. The unit’s modular design allows the KVM module to be detached from the switch module to simplify maintenance and repair. An optional fingerprint access feature enhances physical security and access control.

Suitable for

• Server racks in data centers and server rooms
• Network closets where space-saving console access is required
• IT maintenance stations that require centralized control of multiple servers
• Environments that need optional biometric access control

When it may not be suitable

The CL5708M is intended for rack-mounted server environments; it may not be an appropriate choice for desktop setups or users who need a portable console. Systems that require display resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200 or specialized video interfaces not supported by the unit may need an alternative solution.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mount sliding housing
• Integrated display: 17" LED-backlit LCD
• Console interfaces: PS/2 and USB (keyboard and mouse)
• Maximum supported resolution: up to 1920 x 1200
• Expandable: daisy-chain up to additional 31 KVM switches (supports large-scale control)
• Construction: metal and plastic housing
• Power: AC operation with wide input voltage range

How to use

Mount the CL5708M in a standard 19" rack using appropriate rack-mount kits, connect the console (keyboard, monitor, touchpad) via the front panel, and attach server connections to the rear KVM ports using compatible KVM cables. Use the front-panel controls or on-screen display to switch between connected computers. For larger deployments, daisy-chain additional compatible KVM switches to extend control to more servers. If required, install and configure the optional fingerprint module to enable biometric access control.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 1U rack-mounted sliding console fits your rack depth and available space
• Confirm the display size and resolution meet your monitoring needs (17" up to 1920 x 1200)
• Ensure server video and peripheral interfaces are compatible with PS/2 or USB KVM connections
• Decide if you need the optional fingerprint access feature and compatible accessories

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install the CL5708M in a properly ventilated rack, use high-quality KVM cables for server connections, and plan daisy-chain topologies in advance to avoid cable congestion. Regularly check and update physical access controls and maintain the modular KVM and switch modules according to facility maintenance schedules.
