ATEN 2L1701 Daisy Chain Cable

Overview

The ATEN 2L1701 is a 1.8-meter daisy chain cable designed to link multiple ATEN KVM switches in a cascading configuration. This cable resolves the need for extended control reach in server rooms or multi-rack environments where a single KVM switch needs to manage devices across different locations. By enabling daisy-chaining, you can consolidate control points without running redundant sets of cables to each managed device from a central console.

Compatibility

This cable is specifically engineered for ATEN CS1004, CS1008, CS1016, CS1216A, and AL series KVM switches. It allows for the serial connection of these units, expanding the number of computers you can control from a single console setup. Ensure your KVM switch model is listed to guarantee proper functionality and avoid signal degradation.

Installation Notes

The 2L1701 features a male DB-25 connector on one end and a female DB-25 connector on the other. The male connector interfaces with the 'KVM OUT' or 'Daisy Chain OUT' port of the primary switch, while the female connector interfaces with the 'KVM IN' or 'Daisy Chain IN' port of the secondary switch. The 1.8-meter length provides moderate reach between adjacent units or within the same rack. The black, durable construction is suited for standard IT rack environments.
