Eight-port KVM over IP switch

The ATEN CS1708I provides IP-based remote access and local console control for up to eight servers using PS/2 or USB interfaces.

The unit runs continuously within an operating range of 0 to 50 degrees Celsius and up to 80 percent non-condensing humidity. Power draw is rated at 9.5 watts from a 5.3 volt DC supply, producing 34 BTU per hour. Auto-scan intervals from 1 to 255 seconds allow hands-free cycling during extended monitoring sessions.
