ATEN 6FT. Single Display Dvi-d Secure KVM CAB - 2L7D02UDX2

ATEN 2L7D02UDX2 6ft Single-Display DVI-D Secure KVM Cable

Overview

The ATEN 2L7D02UDX2 is a 1.8-meter (approximately 6-foot) KVM cable designed for single-display DVI-D secure KVM deployments. It carries video over a DVI-D connection alongside USB keyboard/mouse data and 3.5mm audio on a single cable assembly — the kind of consolidated run that keeps secure workstation builds clean and auditable. If you are deploying or replacing cables in an ATEN secure KVM environment, this is the replacement or extension cable to spec.

Key Features

• DVI-D Video Interface: Delivers an all-digital video signal with no analog conversion in the path — relevant in classified or secure workstation environments where signal integrity and predictability matter. DVI-D is the native interface on a wide range of government and enterprise workstations, making this cable a direct drop-in for existing KVM switch installations.
• Integrated USB and 3.5mm Audio: The Connector 1 end combines USB Type-A and 3.5mm audio with DVI-D in a single cable head, while Connector 2 mirrors this with USB Type-B, 3.5mm, and DVI-D — eliminating the need for separate peripheral cable runs and reducing the number of cable passes through a secure enclosure or conduit.
• 1.8m / 6ft Run Length: Sized for standard rack-to-workstation or console-to-desktop distances in secure operations centers and control rooms. If your switch-to-station distance exceeds 1.8m, verify your KVM switch's maximum supported cable length before specifying a longer run.
• Male-to-Male Connector Gender: Both ends are male — confirm your KVM switch's port gender before ordering. This cable is not a gender-changer or extension adapter; it is a direct host-to-switch connection cable.
• Black Finish: Standard black jacket suits rack environments and blends with most professional installations without drawing attention in low-light control rooms.

Integration & Compatibility

The 2L7D02UDX2 is engineered for use with ATEN's secure KVM cable ecosystem. Verify compatibility with your specific ATEN KVM switch model before ordering — secure KVM products use purpose-built cable assemblies and not all DVI-D KVM cables are interchangeable across product lines. The USB Type-A (host side) and USB Type-B (switch side) connectors follow the standard KVM cable convention for keyboard and mouse signal routing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What connectors are on each end of the 2L7D02UDX2?

A: Connector 1 (host/computer side) is male USB Type-A, 3.5mm audio, and DVI-D. Connector 2 (KVM switch side) is male USB Type-B, 3.5mm audio, and DVI-D.

Q: How long is the 2L7D02UDX2 cable?

A: The cable measures 1.8 meters, which is approximately 6 feet.

Q: Is the 2L7D02UDX2 compatible with all ATEN KVM switches?

A: This cable is designed for ATEN secure KVM deployments, but compatibility depends on your specific switch model. Verify your switch's cable requirements before ordering — secure KVM product lines use dedicated cable assemblies.

Q: Does the 2L7D02UDX2 support analog video signals?

A: No. The DVI-D interface carries digital video only — there is no analog component. Ensure your workstation and KVM switch both have DVI-D (not DVI-I or DVI-A) ports.

Q: What color is the 2L7D02UDX2?

A: The cable is black.

Jerry Tildsen

The 2L7D02UDX2 is a straightforward but specific cable — 1.8 meters, DVI-D digital video, USB, and 3.5mm audio combined in one assembly for ATEN secure KVM installations. Where I see people get tripped up is treating secure KVM cables as generic DVI-D KVM cables. They are not. The pin configurations and build quality requirements for secure KVM products are tighter, and substituting a generic cable can break the security certification of the switch installation entirely.

Technical Highlights:

• DVI-D (Digital Only): No analog pins means no risk of analog signal bleed — important in environments where video signal isolation is part of the security posture. Confirm your host card outputs DVI-D, not DVI-I.
• Combined USB + Audio + Video: One cable head handles keyboard/mouse (USB Type-A host side, USB Type-B switch side) plus 3.5mm audio plus DVI-D — fewer penetrations through secure enclosure walls or cable trays compared to running three separate cables.
• 1.8m Fixed Length: At roughly 6 feet, this cable fits the majority of side-by-side or short rack-to-workstation runs. It is not adjustable — if your layout puts the switch more than 6 feet from the connected workstation, you need to plan the physical placement before specifying this cable.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the target ATEN secure KVM switch explicitly lists the 2L7D02UDX2 as a compatible cable — do not assume cross-model compatibility within the ATEN secure KVM line.
• Both connector ends are male. This cable connects host to switch directly; it does not extend another cable or adapt genders. Double-check port genders on both the workstation and the KVM switch before ordering.

Best fit for secure operations centers, government workstation deployments, and classified environments running ATEN DVI-D secure KVM switches where a clean, compliant 6-foot cable run is the spec requirement.
