ATEN CL5708M-IT 8-Port 17 inch LCD KVMP Switch with Italian Keyboard

The ATEN CL5708M-IT is an 8-port 1U rack-mountable LCD KVMP switch that integrates a 17-inch TFT-LCD panel, Italian keyboard, and touchpad into a single rail-mounted console. It allows direct control of up to 8 computers from one console, with daisy-chain capability for up to 31 additional switches to manage 256 computers. The 1280 x 1024 resolution display ensures sharp video output, while the integrated 2-port USB hub enables peripheral sharing. Two-level password security and firmware upgradability make it suitable for secure, scalable server room management.

Advantages

Combining an LCD console, keyboard, touchpad, and KVM switch in a 1U housing saves valuable rack space. The Italian keyboard layout provides localized input, and the integrated touchpad eliminates the need for an external mouse. Dual-level password protection safeguards access to connected servers, while the USB hub allows sharing of USB peripherals among connected computers. Daisy-chaining expands capacity without additional consoles, and firmware upgrades keep the unit current with evolving hardware.
