Eight servers, eight cables, one desk that looks like a tangle of spaghetti. Or you could just drop this 1U unit into the rack and be done. The CL3108NX gives you an 18.5" LED-backlit widescreen panel, keyboard, and mouse emulation all in one sliding rail – and it handles eight machines directly.
Need more than eight? Cascade a second unit behind it and you're at 128 computers from the same console. No extra monitor, no extra keyboard, no extra desk space.
It's PS/2 and USB for both keyboard and mouse, so it doesn't care whether your back-end machines are running Windows, Mac, or Linux. Video input goes up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz. The LCD panel itself runs at 1366 × 768, which is plenty for reading logs and managing configs without squinting.
Two 1.8 m VGA USB KVM cables are in the box. Mount depth sits between 42 cm and 72 cm, so it drops into most standard 19" racks without a custom bracket. Weight's 10.5 kg – one person can get it in, but two is easier. The LED illumination on the front helps you find the unit in a dark server room at 6 am.
If your rack's been a grab-bag of loose monitors and extension cables, this is the piece that makes it look like someone actually set it up
