All-in-One Rack Console

The ATEN KL1516AM is a 1U rackmount KVM console that integrates a 17-inch or 19-inch LCD, keyboard, and touchpad into a single sliding unit. It provides 16 RJ-45 ports for CAT5 connections, allowing administrators to manage up to sixteen computers from one location. The dual-rail design lets the display slide independently of the input devices for flexible positioning within the rack.

Sustained Operation

The dual-rail mechanism reduces mechanical stress by allowing the LCD panel to remain open while the keyboard tray is stowed, supporting continuous monitoring without repeated full extension cycles. CAT5e/6 cabling carries video signals up to 40 metres at 1280 x 1024 resolution and 60 Hz, maintaining stable image quality over long cable runs in dense server rooms. LED indicators for power, online status, and port selection give immediate visual feedback during extended management sessions.

Installation Notes

The unit mounts in a standard 19-inch rack using the included hardware and occupies 1.70 inches of vertical space with top and bottom clearance for smooth sliding. Separate KVM adapter cables are required to connect each computer’s video, keyboard, and mouse ports to the RJ-45 inputs; these are not supplied. Firmware upgrades are performed via the provided cable, and a six-foot power cord is included for immediate power-up.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the KL1516AM produce when the 17-inch LCD and keyboard are left running all day?

The unit fits in 1.70 inches of rack height with top and bottom clearance for airflow, and it uses a single blue power LED plus green and red status LEDs — no fan noise is mentioned in the design.

Which KVM adapter cables must I already own to connect my PCs, Macs or Sun servers to the 16 RJ-45 ports?

The switch requires ATEN KVM adapter cables for the final link to each computer; those cables are not included in the package.

Will the dual-rail console still slide smoothly if I mount the KL1516AM above or below older 1U equipment in the same rack?

Yes — the housing is slightly under 1U with clearance top and bottom, so the LCD and keyboard rails operate independently without binding against adjacent gear.
