ATEN CL6708MW KVM switch Rack mounting Black

The ATEN CL6708MW is a 1U rack-mountable LCD KVM switch with native DVI compatibility and a 17.3" LED-backlit display. Designed to save space by integrating an LCD panel, full keyboard, and touchpad into a compact housing, it supports USB keyboard and mouse connections and DVI/DisplayPort video output with up to 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution. The unit can control up to 64 computers when cascaded with eight CS1768 8-port KVM switches and accepts 100–240V input voltage. The CL6708MW also supports YUV video format and HDCP for compatibility with high-definition and content-protected sources.

Advantages

The CL6708MW provides a built-in 17.3" Full HD LED display that offers improved clarity compared with analog interfaces, while native DVI/DisplayPort support and YUV format compatibility ensure reliable handling of high-definition signals such as NVR outputs. HDCP compatibility allows the use of protected media. Its 1U rack design with integrated keyboard and touchpad saves rack space and simplifies management of multiple servers, and the adjustable scan interval (1–255 seconds) helps automate monitoring across connected systems. An included LED illumination light improves keyboard and touchpad visibility in low-light environments.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring compact KVM management
• Corporate and educational environments using HD or content-protected sources
• Environments that need centralized control of up to 64 computers via cascading

How to use

Install the CL6708MW into a standard 19" rack occupying 1U of space, and connect each target computer to the KVM ports using appropriate DVI/DisplayPort and USB cables. Configure cascading by connecting up to eight CS1768 8-port KVM switches to expand control up to 64 computers. Use the integrated keyboard and touchpad and the 17.3" LCD to switch between connected systems, and adjust the scan interval to cycle through systems automatically if required. Ensure the device is powered from a 100–240V supply and that video source settings match YUV or DVI/HDCP requirements where applicable.

Recommendations

For optimal video quality and compatibility with HDCP-protected media, use certified DVI/DisplayPort cables and configure connected sources to output supported resolutions and formats; verify cascading connections and firmware compatibility when expanding beyond the built-in ports.
