The ATEN CL3100NX Rack mounting Black is a short-depth single-rail LCD KVM console integrating an 18.5" LED-backlit widescreen LCD, keyboard and touchpad in a 1U rack form factor. Its shallow design fits 19" equipment cabinets and is suitable for shallow racks, mobile broadcast vans and compact control rooms. The unit supports VGA video and both USB and PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections and is powered from AC with a wide input range.
