ATEN KE9950T 4K DisplayPort KVM Over IP Transmitter
Overview
The KE9950T is the transmitter (local) unit in ATEN's KE9950 KVM over IP extender system, designed to capture and forward 4K DisplayPort video, USB keyboard/mouse, and serial signals across an IP network. It targets deployments where operators need to control workstations, servers, or media systems from a centralized or remote location — common in broadcast control rooms, secure server rooms, and distributed AV-over-IP installations. Maximum video output reaches 3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz, and end-to-end latency stays under 5ms, which is usable for interactive desktop control without perceptible lag.
Compatibility
The KE9950T pairs exclusively with the ATEN KE9950R receiver unit to form a complete point-to-point KVM over IP link. It is part of ATEN's KE9950/KE9952 platform and shares firmware with the KE9952T (dual-display variant) — both units run the same firmware line (ke9950-ke9952-v2.1.201.zip, released 2025-02-27). Keyboard and mouse connectivity is USB. Network transport uses either the onboard 1 x RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port or the 1 x SFP slot — the SFP slot allows fiber uplinks where copper distance limits or electrical isolation are a factor. This transmitter is not compatible with KVM switches or extenders outside the KE9950/KE9952 family.
Installation Notes
Mount options include recessed and rack configurations — confirm rack-unit clearance before installation, and note that ATEN expresses physical dimensions for rack products in L×W×H order rather than the standard W×D×H, which affects cabinet planning. The semi-recessed reset pushbutton requires a pin or slim tool to actuate, preventing accidental resets in live environments. Operating humidity tolerance runs 0–95% RH non-condensing; do not install in environments with condensing moisture. Firmware is field-upgradeable via the v2.1.201 package available from ATEN's support portal.
