ATEN CL6708MW rack console 43.9 cm (17.3 inch) Black 1U

The ATEN CL6708MW is a 1U rack-mountable LCD KVM switch with a built-in 17.3" LED-backlit display and integrated keyboard and touchpad. It provides native DVI compatibility and supports Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution with YUV video format and HDCP compatibility. The CL6708MW controls up to 8 computers directly and can be cascaded with up to eight CS1768 8-port KVM switches to manage up to 64 computers, offering a space-saving solution for server rooms, data centers and control stations.

Advantages

The integrated 17.3" Full HD LCD delivers clearer digital video than typical analog interfaces and the YUV support improves compatibility with high-definition sources such as NVR systems. Native DVI and HDCP compatibility enable use with protected media. The unit combines display, full keyboard and touchpad in a single 1U housing to conserve rack space, and includes an LED illumination light for operation in low-light environments. USB keyboard and mouse ports provide standard peripheral connectivity.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers requiring compact console access
• Control rooms and monitoring stations handling HD video sources
• Environments where HDCP-protected media must be viewed from a centralized console
• Installations that require scalable management of up to 64 computers via cascading

Recommendations

For reliable HD video display and compatibility with protected content, use high-quality DVI or DisplayPort cables and ensure connected sources support YUV output and HDCP where required. Follow ATEN’s installation guide when cascading CS1768 units to maintain proper topology and signal integrity.
