ATEN VK304 Tabletop Kit for VK Control System Touch Panel

Overview

The ATEN VK304 is a tabletop mounting kit designed for use with ATEN's VK-series control system touch panels. If your installation calls for a freestanding panel on a conference table, reception desk, or AV control surface rather than a flush wall or rack mount, the VK304 provides the physical support structure to make that deployment viable. The VK304 pairs with ATEN VK-series panels that operate on PoE+ (802.3at) — meaning a single Ethernet run handles both data and power, eliminating the need to pull a separate power line to the tabletop position. The panel's 500 cd/m² luminance holds readability in well-lit environments without washing out.

Compatibility

The VK304 is engineered for ATEN's VK Control System touch panel family. It supports panels with the following interface profile: 1 x RJ-45 Female (10/100/1000 BaseT) for network and PoE+ delivery, 1 x USB Type A for peripheral connection, and PoE+ (802.3at) power input — so confirm your switch or midspan delivers 802.3at, not 802.3af, before ordering. The quad-core processor and 16GB flash are internal to the compatible panel unit, not the kit itself. Verify your specific VK-series panel model is listed as compatible with the VK304 tabletop form factor in ATEN's configuration documentation before deploying.

Installation Notes

Operating humidity is rated 10–80% RH non-condensing — suitable for typical indoor commercial environments but not appropriate for spaces with condensation risk. Route a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable to the tabletop position; the 802.3at PoE+ requirement means your switch port or injector must supply up to 30W. Firmware for the associated panel is at v1.11.19o (released 2025-11-14) — confirm the panel is updated before commissioning to avoid known-fixed behavior gaps.
