The ATEN CL1000M is a professional 1U rack-mount console designed to streamline server room management. It features a high-quality 17-inch LED-backlit LCD display, a full-sized keyboard with an AZERTY layout, and a responsive touchpad, all integrated into a compact, slideaway housing. This console serves as a centralized interface for controlling servers, allowing IT administrators to manage their infrastructure efficiently without occupying excessive rack space.

Advantages

The integrated LED illumination light ensures that the keyboard and touchpad remain visible even in low-light server room environments.

The LCD module offers a flexible viewing angle, rotating up to 115 degrees to provide optimal comfort for the operator during extended maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Server room and data center management
