KVM switch with 8 ports (USB - PS/2, VGA), 43 cm LCD screen, and USB port for peripherals, allows multiple computers to be controlled from a single PS/2 or USB console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). A single CL5708MW can control up to 8 computers. The CL5708MW Slideaway – LCD KVM Switch series is a device that enables access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) console. Up to 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained with the CL5708MW, allowing control of up to 256 computers from a single KVM console. The CL5708MW offers a space-saving, sleek approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, a 17.3" LCD monitor with LED backlighting, and a touchpad into a rack-mountable 1U chassis. To enhance security, the CL5708MW provides the option to use a fingerprint identification system to control access to the CL5708MW itself and the servers it manages. The CL5708MW is based on a modular design, allowing the KVM part to be detached from the switch part for convenient maintenance and repair.
