ATEN USB - VGA Cat5e/6 KVM adapterkábel (CPU-modul)

The ATEN KA7970 KVM cable (CPU module) is a 4.5 m USB–VGA to Cat5e/6 adapter cable designed to connect computers to compatible ATEN KVM switches. It integrates keyboard and mouse emulation, supports high-resolution video over the built-in 4.5 m Cat5 cable, and provides hot-pluggable connectivity for easy addition or removal of systems without powering down the switch. The compact black cable is compatible with a range of ATEN KVM switches and is supplied as a single KA7970 CPU module.

Advantages

Keyboard and mouse emulation maintains server functionality when a unit is disconnected or moved between KVM ports. The cable supports video resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at distances up to 4.5 m and offers lifetime firmware upgrades. Hot-pluggable design allows system changes without shutdown. The integrated 4.5 m Cat5 cable simplifies installation and cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and PCs to ATEN KVM switches in data centers and server rooms
• Remote rack-mounted systems requiring keyboard and mouse emulation
• Environments where hot-plugging of computers is needed

How to use

Once connected, the keyboard and mouse emulation takes effect automatically, and the KVM switch will recognize the computer. The cable supports hot-plugging, so computers can be connected or removed while the switch remains powered.

Recommendations

For optimal video quality maintain the 4.5 m cable length and use Cat5e/6 cabling in good condition; note that higher resolutions such as 1680 × 1050 (reduced blanking) and 1920 × 1200 (reduced blanking) are not supported by KA7xxxx KVM adapter cables.
