ATEN 2X021G Dual Rack Mount Kit for KE69/KE89 Series
Overview
The ATEN 2X021G is a dual rack mount kit designed to consolidate two KE69 or KE89 series KVM-over-IP extender units into a single 1U rack slot. Instead of consuming two separate rack positions or leaving extender units loose, the 2X021G brackets both units side-by-side in a standard 19-inch rack — a practical fit for KVM-over-IP deployments where rack space is constrained and cable management discipline matters. This is a mechanical mounting solution only: it provides the physical chassis and fasteners to rack-mount two extenders together, with no active electronics involved.
Compatibility
The 2X021G is designed for use with ATEN KE69 and KE89 series KVM-over-IP extenders — specifically the KE6900, KE6900A, KE6900AiT, KE6900T, KE6900R, KE8900, KE8900S, KE8950, and KE8952 units. It accepts two extender units simultaneously and mounts them into a standard 19-inch EIA rack. Verify your specific KE69 or KE89 model variant against ATEN's compatibility list before ordering — not all sub-variants within the series are guaranteed to fit without confirmation. This kit is not compatible with other ATEN product families such as KE6940 dual-display extenders or KN-series KVM switches, which have different physical form factors. If you are deploying a rack mount accessory alongside a broader AV-over-IP or KVM infrastructure, confirm rack unit depth and rail clearance before installation.
Installation Notes
The 2X021G attaches to standard 19-inch rack rails and occupies 1U of vertical rack space when holding two KE69/KE89 extenders. Ensure adequate rear clearance for the extenders' cable connections — KVM-over-IP units typically require access to RJ-45, USB, and video ports at the rear, so a shallow-depth rack or dense rear cable bundle can restrict installation. Use a KVM accessories planner to account for cable egress before finalizing rack position. No special tools beyond standard rack screwdrivers are indicated; follow ATEN's torque and fastener guidance from the product documentation supplied with the kit.
