Marketing description

ATEN's KL1508 LCD slide away KVM provides a compact solution to working in cramped server rooms. It has a unique dual rail configuration so the LCD monitor slides independently of the keyboard, which allows the keyboard to be conveniently stowed out of the way, while the LCD monitor stands vertically flat against the rack for monitoring purposes, thus keeping your aisle clear.
The use of common CAT-5 cable to connect the 1U KVM to your servers serves a two fold purpose, first cable length is no longer an issue, simply make it as long as you like and secondly, although the computer ports panel is a high density configuration, it's still easy to add new devices, or reconfigure your existing set up.
