## Long description

The ATEN 8-Port USB DVI Dual Link with Audio (CS1788) KVM switch provides centralized control of up to eight computers from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and DVI-I console. Designed for environments that require high-resolution video, it supports DVI-I dual-link output up to 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz and offers audio support. The unit is housed in a durable black metal enclosure with a compact rack-friendly footprint (437.2 mm x 161.2 mm x 44 mm) and typical power consumption of 8.26 W operating from a 5.3 V DC power source.
Advantages
