The ATEN LCD KVM Switch CL5716 is a professional 16-port KVM solution that combines a keyboard, touchpad, and LED-backlit LCD monitor into a compact 1U Slideaway™ rack-mount design. It enables IT administrators to control multiple computers from a single console while maximizing valuable rack space in data centers and server rooms.
Designed for high-density server management, the ATEN LCD KVM Switch CL5716 supports direct control of up to 16 computers. By daisy-chaining up to 31 additional KVM switches, a single console can efficiently manage as many as 512 computers, making it an ideal solution for expanding enterprise IT infrastructures.
The integrated LED-backlit LCD monitor is available in 17-inch, 17.3-inch Full HD, and 19-inch versions, delivering sharp images and comfortable viewing. The LCD module rotates up to 120 degrees, allowing users to adjust the viewing angle for greater convenience during operation and maintenance.
For enhanced security, selected models of the ATEN LCD KVM Switch CL5716 include a fingerprint authentication reader, providing secure access to both the KVM switch and connected servers. The system also features two-level password protection with separate administrator and user accounts, ensuring only authorized personnel can access critical systems.
The switch supports both PS/2 and USB interfaces, offering broad compatibility with Windows, Linux, Mac, and Sun platforms. Automatic keyboard and mouse emulation ensures smooth switching between connected computers without interrupting system operation. Hot-plug capability allows devices to be added or removed without shutting down the installation.
The modular architecture separates the LCD console from the switch module, simplifying maintenance and reducing service downtime. With intuitive operation through front-panel buttons, hotkeys, and a multilingual on-screen display (OSD), the ATEN LCD KVM Switch CL5716 delivers efficient server management without requiring additional software.
