The CL5708 / CL5716 Slideaway™ LCD KVM Switch series are control units that allow access to
multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single
CL5708 or CL5716 can control up to 8 or 16 computers. As many as 31 additional KVM switches can
be daisy-chained to the CL5708 / CL5716, so that up to 512 computers can all be controlled from a
single KVM console.
The CL5708 / CL5716 offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switch technology by
integrating a keyboard, 17" or 19" LED-backlit 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 CL5708 / CL5716, and the servers under its command.
The CL5708 / CL5716 is built on a modular design. The KVM section can be detached from the switch
section for convenient maintenance and repair.
