Marketing description

The CL5708M Slideaway LCD KVMP switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single CL5708M can control up to 8 computers. As many as 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the CL5708M, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from a single KVM console.
The CL5708M offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, 17" LCD monitor, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing. For added security, an optional fingerprint identification system can be used to control access to the CL5708M, and the servers under its command.
