The ATEN CL5808NCKIT Dual Rail Rackmount LCD-TAA Compliant is a high-performance 8-port KVM solution that combines a compact, rack-ready LCD KVM switch with a sliding, dual-rail design for efficient multi-server management in demanding data centers and enterprise environments. Built to simplify control of multiple computers from two independent PS/2 or USB KVM consoles, this unit delivers seamless, reliable access while conserving rack space. The integrated 19" LED-backlit LCD monitor offers crisp visuals and convenient on-demand monitoring, making it ideal for IT rooms, lab setups, and production floors where quick, secure access to multiple servers is essential. With dual-rail rails, an external console port, and TAA compliance, the CL5808NCKIT is designed to streamline administration without compromising performance or security.

• Two-console control: Access up to eight servers from two independent PS/2 or USB KVM consoles simultaneously. This dual-console capability enables administrators to work from two locations or workstations while maintaining synchronized control across all connected systems, boosting productivity and reducing the need to swap cables or reconfigure racks mid-operation.
• Integrated 19" LED-backlit LCD: The built-in monitor provides bright, clear imagery with wide viewing angles, enabling local monitoring, boot-time checks, and BIOS-level troubleshooting without requiring separate external displays. LED backlighting delivers energy efficiency and long life, while the compact design saves valuable rack space.
• External console management: An additional rear-panel console port allows management from an optional external console, facilitating remote control, service, and diagnostics without disturbing front-console users. This feature is particularly valuable in multi-operator environments or when out-of-band maintenance is needed.
• Rack-ready reliability: The dual-rail rackmount design is engineered for secure installation in 19" racks, with slideaway functionality to simplify deployment, cable management, and serviceability. The included mounting rails and kit ensure quick installation and robust mounting in a variety of rack configurations.
• Compliance and compatibility: The CL5808NCKIT is TAA compliant, meeting government procurement standards. It supports both PS/2 and USB consoles, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of keyboards and mice. Hot-swappable operation and compatible cabling reduce downtime and simplify upgrades or expansions.
