ATEN 2L7D02UH21X4 1.8M USB Ultra High-speed HDMI Secure KVM Cable Kit

Overview

The ATEN 2L7D02UH21X4 is a 1.8-metre cable kit that bundles USB and Ultra High-speed HDMI connections into a single run between a host computer and a compatible KVM switch. The 1.8 m reach suits standard under-desk and short-rack installations where the KVM sits within the same rack unit or immediately adjacent cabinet — long enough to dress neatly, short enough to avoid signal-integrity concerns at Ultra High-speed HDMI frequencies. Having USB and HDMI in a matched, purpose-built kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing cables separately and ensures the connector profile is validated for the switch port geometry.

Compatibility

This cable kit is designed for use with ATEN KVM switches that accept the 2L7D-series Ultra High-speed HDMI + USB cable format — specifically Secure KVM models in ATEN's product line that require this connector pairing for HDMI video and USB HID input. Verify your specific KVM switch model's cable-type requirement against ATEN's compatibility matrix before ordering; not all ATEN KVM switches use the same cable family. The Ultra High-speed HDMI specification supports bandwidths up to 48 Gbps, which means the cable itself does not become the bottleneck for 4K or higher-resolution sources connected through a compatible switch — though actual output resolution is governed by the KVM switch, not the cable alone. The USB segment carries keyboard, mouse, and compatible HID device signals for the console port.

Installation Notes

Route this cable away from high-voltage AC runs and bundle ties that could pinch the HDMI connector shell — Ultra High-speed HDMI cables are sensitive to sharp bends near the connector. Dress the USB and HDMI leads together using the supplied jacket or hook-and-loop straps if included. At 1.8 m this kit fits most rack enclosures where the KVM is mounted within 1U–2U of the target machine's cable-management arm exit point. Confirm the Secure KVM switch port labeling matches this cable's connector orientation before final termination.
