Rack Console ATEN CL3100NX 47 cm 1366 x 768 pixels USB VGA

The ATEN CL3100NX 47 cm 1366 x 768 USB VGA Rack Console is a 1U short-depth single-rail LCD KVM console featuring an 18.5" (47 cm) LED-backlit widescreen monitor with an integrated USB keyboard and touchpad. Its compact short-depth design fits standard 19" equipment cabinets and is suitable for shallow racks, making it practical for environments with limited space such as outside broadcast vans and compact control rooms. The console provides external-console support via front-panel USB mouse and rear-panel USB keyboard/mouse and VGA ports, and includes mini stereo audio ports for speaker connection. Optional rack-mount kits are available separately.

It supports external console connections and higher input video resolutions on the external monitor, while built-in LED illumination improves keyboard and touchpad visibility in low-light conditions. Constructed from metal and plastic and finished in black, the unit is designed for reliable rack integration and basic audio support.

How to use

Install the CL3100NX into a 19" rack at a 1U position using an appropriate rack-mount kit if required. Connect the console to your KVM switch or servers using the VGA and USB cables: use the rear-panel USB and VGA connectors for a secondary console connection or the front-panel USB mouse port for temporary external mouse use. Power the unit from the site supply within the supported voltage range and connect audio speakers to the mini stereo ports if audio monitoring is needed. Use the integrated keyboard and touchpad for local server control; when connecting an external console, set the video source to the external input if required.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation in shallow racks, verify chassis depth before installation and use optional ATEN rack-mount kits if additional mounting hardware is needed. For best display clarity on the external console, match the external video source to supported resolutions (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz).
