ATEN KL1108VN 8-Port 19 inch LCD KVM over IP Switch, Dual Rail, US Keyboard

In a busy data center, managing multiple servers from a single console is essential. The ATEN KL1108VN combines an 8-port KVM switch with a 19-inch LCD display, keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U dual-rail housing, allowing administrators to control up to 8 computers locally or over IP from anywhere.

Why choose it

The KL1108VN offers a space-saving 1U design with a built-in 19" LCD, eliminating the need for a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Its Cat 5 connectivity reduces cable clutter and allows servers to be located up to 40 meters away using standard Cat 5e/6 cables. Remote IP access enables BIOS-level control from anywhere, while robust security features protect your infrastructure.

Ideal use cases

• Data centers and server rooms requiring centralized management of multiple servers
• Remote administration of servers in branch offices or colocation facilities
• Industrial environments where rack space is limited and a local console is needed
• IT administrators who need secure, out-of-band access to critical systems

Good to know

The dual rail design allows the LCD display to slide independently from the keyboard/touchpad, so you can keep the display open while the keyboard is stowed. Daisy chaining up to 15 additional switches expands control to up to 128 servers from a single console. Compatible KVM adapter cables (sold separately) support VGA, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort server connections.
