Rack console ATEN CL6700MW 17.3" (43.9 cm) LCD 1920x1080 DVI-D USB keyboard AZERTY French 1U metal black

The ATEN CL6700MW is a 1U rack-mount console with an integrated 17.3" (43.9 cm) LED-backlit Full HD LCD (1920 x 1080) designed for local control and monitoring of servers and network equipment. This model provides DVI-D video connectivity alongside USB ports for keyboard and mouse, and features a built-in full-size keyboard with a French AZERTY layout and an integrated touchpad. Typical power consumption is 19.4 W and the unit accepts AC adapter input of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz. The CL6700MW slides into standard 1U racks and closes flat to conserve space when not in use.

Advantages

The console combines a high-resolution 17.3" display, a full keyboard and an integrated touchpad in a single 1U metal housing, reducing the need for separate peripherals at the rack. Multiple video input options (including DVI-D on this model) and front USB ports simplify connection and operation. Low typical power consumption and LED backlighting for the keyboard make the unit practical for continuous use in data centres and server rooms. Its slim sliding design provides easy access while maintaining a compact footprint in a rack environment.

How to use

Install the console into a compatible 1U rack slot using the sliding mechanism so the unit can open and close smoothly. Connect the DVI-D video cable and USB cables for keyboard and mouse to the target server or KVM switch. Power the unit via the supplied AC adapter. Use the integrated keyboard and touchpad for direct control, or connect an external USB mouse to the front port if preferred. When finished, slide the console back into the rack to close the housing and save space.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure the rack has sufficient clearance for the slide rails and that connected equipment supports DVI-D and USB peripheral connections. Use the included AC adapter rated for 100–240 V and verify grounding in the rack. If low-light visibility is required, use the console’s LED keyboard illumination. Consider optional rack mount kits if additional mounting accessories are needed.
