Aten 17-inch 16-port Single Rail LCD KVM Switch CL5716M

Aten 17-inch 16-port Single Rail LCD KVM Switch

The CL5716M Slideaway – LCD KVM Switch series is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single CL5716M can control up to 16 computers. As many as 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the CL5716M, so that up to 512 computers can all be controlled from a single KVM console.

The CL5716M offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, 17" LED-backlit LCD monitor, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing. To enhance security, the CL5716M offers the option to use a fingerprint identification system for controlling access to both the CL5716M itself and the servers it commands.

The CL5716 is built on a modular design. The KVM section can be detached from the switch section for convenient maintenance and repair.
