ATEN KE9900ST Slim DisplayPort KVM Over IP Transmitter
Overview
The KE9900ST is a slim-form KVM over IP transmitter that extends a DisplayPort video source — along with USB keyboard and mouse — across a standard IP network to a paired receiver unit. Designed for deployments where rack space or wall-cavity depth is constrained, the KE9900ST handles resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz with a measured latency under 48ms, making it a practical fit for control rooms, broadcast suites, and secure server room access scenarios where an operator console must be physically separated from the host machine. A single RJ-45 port carries all video, USB HID, and control data over your existing LAN infrastructure — no dedicated cabling run required beyond standard Cat5e/6.
Compatibility
The KE9900ST operates within the ATEN KE Series KVM over IP ecosystem. It pairs with compatible KE Series receiver units and is supported under the ATEN ATEN KVM and AV over IP line. Firmware version v7.5.741.002 (released 2023-07-24) is shared across the KE6900ST, KE8900ST, and KE9900ST slim matrix platform, confirming cross-model firmware parity within this sub-family. For centralized management of multiple transmitter/receiver pairs, the KE9900ST integrates with ATEN's matrix management software. Verify receiver model compatibility against ATEN's KE Series KVM switch and extender compatibility matrix before ordering — not all KE receivers support the DisplayPort input variant.
Installation Notes
The unit includes a semi-recessed pushbutton reset and supports both recessed and rack rack mounting configurations, giving flexibility for flush-panel installs or standard 19-inch rack integration. Humidity tolerance runs 0–95% RH non-condensing — suitable for most conditioned equipment rooms but not uncontrolled outdoor or high-moisture environments. USB keyboard and mouse connect directly to the transmitter; no additional driver installation is required on the host side beyond standard USB HID enumeration. Refer to ATEN's KVM over IP network planning guide for bandwidth and QoS recommendations when deploying across shared LAN segments.
