Two-Computer DVI KVM Switch

The ATEN CS1762A is a two-port DVI KVM switch that lets one USB keyboard, mouse and monitor control two DVI computers. It includes a built-in two-port USB 2.0 hub for sharing peripherals such as printers or storage drives. Audio and microphone jacks on each port provide 2.1 channel sound switching alongside the video signal. The unit ships with two six-foot DVI-D cables, a power adapter and documentation.

Compatibility Checklist

Verify that each computer provides a DVI-I video output and USB Type B ports for keyboard and mouse connection. Ensure the shared monitor accepts a DVI-I input and supports 1920 x 1200 resolution at 60 Hz with DDC2B signalling. Confirm that 5.3 VDC, 1 A power is available from the included adapter and that the operating environment stays within 32 °F to 122 °F and 0 to 80 % relative humidity. The console side requires one USB Type A keyboard port, one USB Type A mouse port, plus audio and microphone jacks.

Upgrade From Single-System KVM

This switch replaces a single-computer KVM or manual cable swapping when you need to operate two DVI workstations from one desk. The jump is worthwhile if you regularly switch between two systems and want front-panel push-button or hotkey selection with an auto-scan interval of 1 to 99 seconds. It is not suited for setups that require more than two computer ports, DisplayPort or HDMI video inputs, or USB 3.0 peripheral speeds.

Questions about this item

What cables and accessories are included with the CS1762A and is anything else required?

The package contains the CS1762A unit, two custom DVI-D cables (6 ft), a 5.3 VDC 1 A power adapter, a user manual and a quick-start guide. No extra cables are needed for a basic two-computer setup.

Which version of the CS1762A should I choose for dual-DVI computers with USB 2.0 peripherals?

This single model provides two DVI-I computer ports, a DVI-I console port, two USB Type-B upstream ports, a built-in two-port USB 2.0 hub, and microphone and stereo audio jacks for both computers.

What does the 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz rating mean when the switch is connected to my monitors?

Each connected computer can output up to 1920 x 1200 resolution at 60 Hz through the DVI-I links, and the switch passes the DDC2B EDID data so the OS detects the display correctly.
