All-in-One KVM Cable for ATEN Switches

This 16 ft USB KVM cable connects a computer to compatible ATEN KVM switches using a single bonded assembly. It carries video, USB keyboard and USB mouse signals through one flexible jacket, reducing cable clutter behind the rack or desk. The black Micro-Lite construction is built for high-resolution video applications where signal integrity matters.

Connector count matches switch port layout

The cable provides three connectors in one fixed harness, matching the port arrangement on supported ATEN switches. Using a cable with a different connector count will leave functions unconnected or require extra adapters. Verify that your switch expects exactly three leads before ordering.

Thumbscrews and thin jacket simplify rack routing

Over-sized thumbscrews on each connector allow tool-free tightening, even in tight rack spaces. The thin, flexible Micro-Lite jacket bends easily around cable managers without kinking. The most common issue is ordering the wrong length; measure the full path from switch to computer to avoid a cable that is too short or excessively coiled.
