Discover the ATEN KL1108VN, a high-performance 8-port Cat5 dual-rail LCD KVM over IP switch engineered for data centers, server rooms, and remote office environments. This compact yet powerful console integrates an independently retractable dual slide 19" LED-backlit LCD monitor with a built-in keyboard and touchpad, delivering a seamless local experience while enabling robust remote management over IP. Designed to simplify administration of multiple servers, the KL1108VN consolidates control, minimizes footprint, and enhances operational efficiency by letting operators monitor and manage their entire fleet from a single, secure interface.

• Seamless local and remote management: The KL1108VN provides powerful local console access with a full-size keyboard, touchpad, and a bright LED-backlit 19" LCD, while also enabling remote, IP-based control of connected servers. This dual-access model reduces downtime and speeds up remediation by giving operators choices in how they interact with the infrastructure.
• Independent dual-rail LCD console: Each KL1108VN unit features an independently retractable dual-rail design that allows the LCD and keyboard/touchpad to extend or retract as a single, cohesive unit. This ensures a clean, space-saving footprint in crowded racks and simplifies hot-swap operations without sacrificing screen clarity or input responsiveness.
• 8-port Cat5 KVM switching: With eight ports dedicated to KVM control over a Cat5 infrastructure, you can manage a growing number of servers from a single device. The class-leading Cat5 design provides flexible cabling options, reduced clutter, and reliable signal integrity for keyboard, video, and mouse data across your data center.
• Rack-mount kit included and TAA compliant: The KL1108VN arrives with a rugged rack-mount kit for easy integration into standard 19" racks. It is TAA compliant, aligning with government procurement requirements and ensuring compatibility with a wide range of enterprise environments.
• Secure, scalable remote access: In addition to local control, the KL1108VN offers IP-based remote access for operators and administrators. This enables centralized monitoring, rapid response, and scalable management across multiple racks and sites, helping teams stay productive even when on-site access is limited.
