The ATEN KA7970 is a KVM adapter cable that bridges a rack-mounted computer's USB and VGA (HDB-15) ports to an RJ-45 KVM switch port over a 15-foot run. If you're wiring servers or workstations into an ATEN KVM switch infrastructure and need to keep cable runs clean inside a rack, the KA7970 handles the USB keyboard/mouse signal and VGA video in a single adapter. The unit includes an orange Online indicator LED so you can confirm an active connection at a glance without pulling the cable.
The KA7970 is designed for use with ATEN KVM switches that accept RJ-45 adapter cables — specifically ATEN Cat 5e/6-based KVM matrix and rack KVM switch families. On the computer side, it terminates in one USB Type A male connector (keyboard and mouse) and one HDB-15 male connector (VGA video), making it suitable for servers and workstations with standard VGA and USB ports. Verify your KVM switch model explicitly supports the KA7970 adapter before ordering — not all ATEN RJ-45 KVM ports share the same adapter series. This adapter is not compatible with DisplayPort, DVI, or HDMI video outputs; those require a different adapter variant.
Route the KA7970 within standard rack cable management channels — the RJ-45 end connects to the KVM switch, and the USB plus HDB-15 ends connect directly to the target computer. Storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C, so the adapter can remain installed in environments that cycle through cold startup conditions without issue. No tools are required for connection. Confirm the Online LED illuminates orange after seating both ends to verify the adapter is recognized by the KVM switch fabric.
