The Flagships of Sustainable Server Management
Maintaining effective IT operations is crucial to keeping businesses and services running. With workforces navigating the adjustments of the new normal, sustaining 24/7 uninterrupted IT services while remaining competitive has become more mission-critical than ever. Meanwhile, as the amount of data has continued to grow exponentially over the years, boosting operational efficiency remains the focal point for data center and server room professionals as they strive to streamline routine procedures in automated processes, such as data entry, feature testing, BIOS flash, system updates, and much more.
ATEN 4K USB 3.0 Rack KVM Switches (CS18208 / CS18216 / CS19208 / CS19216), featuring superior 4K video quality, USB 3.0 peripheral agility, and space-saving rackmount capability, allow 8 or 16 computers to be centrally controlled via a single console where IT engineers are enabled to expedite system operations by configuring multiple units simultaneously instead of working one at a time; routine or repetitive tasks and procedures can be promptly replicated and broadcasted on multiple computers in seconds, slashing time, space, and cost, while pursuing strengthened enterprise productivity.

Spectacular 4K DCI Visual Performance
With connection to HDMI or DisplayPort-enabled computers, 4K USB 3.0 Rack KVM Switch series effortlessly enrich console desktop operations with up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160 @60 Hz) visual excellence. Video sources of high-res visuals and imaging are displayed with great precision for improved analysis.
Video DynaSync™
Empowered by patented ATEN technology – Video DynaSync™, Rack KVM Switches deliver a smooth viewing experience by maintaining the ideal video settings under all operating systems when switching between ports, speeding up switching between systems, and powering up uninterruptedly while eliminating boot-up display problems.
Broadcast Mode to Enforce Timely Configurations
The practical and efficient Broadcast Mode can be easily invoked via OSD or serial commands to perform the same task or command simultaneously on all connected computers across different OS platforms, including software installation and upgrading, function testing, BIOS flash update, system-wide shutdown, and more, making server management effortless and hassle-free.
Cascadability to Upscale Server Management Efficiency
By connecting computers to a 4K USB 3.0 Rack KVM Switch, the number of connected computers can be scaled up to 256 by cascading the CS19216 in 2 levels, or 512 by cascading the CS18208 in 3 levels, leaving room and flexibility for network expansion when needed.
Resilient Multi-Display Setup to Facilitate Live Feeds
When a large amount of complex content needs to be viewed at once or there’s a need to examine intensive data for analysis, up to 8 Rack KVM Switches can be stacked up to allow up to 8 monitors to be set up in a multi-display configuration (such as dual- / triple- / quad-display) to facilitate live feeds among computers at the console desktop.
Superb Data Transfer Rate for Swift Peripheral Sharing
The built-in 2-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub supports plug-n-play connection to two peripheral devices (e.g., printer, scanner, flash drive, etc.) for high-speed data transmission of up to 5 Gbps transfer rate, making console desktop operations agile and efficient.
Flexible Port-Switching Methods for Uplifted Productivity
Port switching is as easy and convenient as pressing the front-panel pushbuttons, pressing supported hotkeys, using the OSD, or entering RS-232 commands, whichever works best for you.
Solutions in Action
Production Line Automation
In scenarios where operations need to be performed on many computers during a process involving assembly, BIOS flash update, OS installation, component scanning, system-wide shutdown, or testing, the deployment of either CS18208, CS18216, CS19208, or CS19216 Rack KVM Switches or any combination can streamline all the configurations from a single console desktop via the exclusive Broadcast Mode.
- USB 3.0 high data transfer rate
- Broadcast Mode to apply configurations to all computers at once
- Plug-n-play peripheral connection for quick file sharing
- Multiplatform support: Windows, Linux, Mac, and Sun
- Video DynaSync™ to optimize video settings with EDID Expert™
- Network expandability in tandem with IP KVM extenders
Server Room Management
In order to effectively and effortlessly manage stacks of servers in server rooms or data centers, the deployment of ATEN 4K USB 3.0 Rack KVM Switches, or in combination with an LCD KVM console, can function as a local shared platform to undertake operations on connected servers all at once. Meanwhile, connecting servers to an IP KVM extender or KVM over IP switch, on the other hand, further allows data to be remotely transmitted over an IP network for surveillance, monitoring, and broadcasting purposes, for example, in a control room application.
- USB 3.0 high data transfer rate
- Broadcast Mode to expedite configurations to computers all at once
- Space-saving rack installation
- 4K visual excellence
- Network expandability in tandem with IP KVM extenders
