Overview
- The Aten CL1308N is a purpose-built rackmount KVM switch that brings server management efficiency to space-constrained environments. By integrating an LCD panel, full keyboard, and touchpad into a compact 1U housing, it eliminates the need for multiple monitors and peripherals while delivering centralised control over multiple computers.
Designed for network administrators managing complex server infrastructures, the CL1308N supports both USB and PS/2 connections, making it compatible with a wide range of peripherals and legacy equipment. The integrated 19" LCD display and sliding mechanism provide ergonomic access without consuming additional rack space.
With no software installation required, the switch operates immediately upon connection. Switching between computers is intuitive—use front panel buttons, keyboard hotkeys, or the multilingual on-screen display menu. For growing environments, the cascadable architecture allows connection of up to 8 additional switches, enabling management of up to 256 computers from a single console.
