Description

The ATEN CS1798A is an enterprise-grade 8-port KVM switch delivering 4K DCI resolution (4096 x 2160 @ 60Hz) over HDMI, enabling a single USB console to control up to 8 computers with crisp, high-fidelity video. Designed for demanding rack environments, it supports 3-level cascading to manage up to 512 computers, multi-display stacking across up to 8 monitors, and includes a built-in 2-port USB 2.0 hub for shared peripheral access — making it ideal for data centres, server rooms, and broadcast facilities.

The CS1798A offers flexible port selection via front-panel pushbuttons, hotkeys, and an intuitive OSD with backup/restore capability. Video DynaSync™ eliminates boot-up display issues and optimises resolution during switching, while Broadcast Mode allows simultaneous operations across all connected computers. The 1U rack-mount metal chassis includes a rack mounting kit and firmware upgrade support via RJ11 for long-term compatibility.
