KH1508/KH1516

Cat5High-DensityKVMSwitch

The KH1508 / KH1516 KVM Switches are control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse) console. The KH1508 / KH1516 features RJ-45 connectors and Cat 5 cable to link to the computers. Combined with Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) signals can travel up to 40 meters and still maintain high video resolution. Utilizing PS/2 and USB KVM Adapter Cables for the final linkup, the KH1508 / KH1516 permits any combination of PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation.

KH1508, KH1516 specifications

ATEN Technology is a renowned leader in the field of KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switches, and two of its flagship products, the KH1516 and KH1508, exemplify the company’s commitment to innovative design and powerful functionality. Both models are tailored for environments where multiple computers are managed from a single set of peripherals, making them ideal for server control, data center management, and other professional applications.

The KH1516 is particularly noted for its flexibility and capability to manage up to 16 computers from a single console. This device supports a wide range of video resolutions, allowing users to work with high-definition displays while maintaining clarity and sharpness. The KH1516 utilizes a comprehensive approach to connectivity, featuring HDMI, USB, and audio interface options, which provide compatibility with various devices and peripherals. The inclusion of advanced peripheral sharing capabilities allows for seamless switching among connected computers, enhancing productivity and efficiency.

On the other hand, the KH1508 caters to smaller operations, supporting up to eight computers with similar functionalities as its counterpart. This model also stands out with its compact design, making it suitable for smaller setups or environments where space is at a premium. Support for high-definition video resolutions combined with audio management ensures that users can operate seamlessly across different systems.

Both models incorporate ATEN's proprietary technologies, including the use of the ATEN Remote Desktop Protocol (ARCP), which allows for remote access to connected systems. This feature is crucial for operations requiring remote management without physical presence at the data center. Moreover, the KVM switches support hot-plugging, ensuring that devices can be connected or disconnected without disrupting ongoing processes.

Another key characteristic is the user-friendly interface, which often involves intuitive on-screen displays for quick navigation between systems. Security features, including password protection and user access management, enhance the safety of operations.

In summary, ATEN Technology’s KH1516 and KH1508 KVM switches are versatile solutions engineered to streamline server management and improve operational efficiency. With robust connectivity options, support for high-definition video, remote access protocols, and user-friendly interfaces, these KVM switches remain at the forefront of technology, catering to a diverse range of professional needs in IT environments.
