ATEN 8-Port 19in Dual Rail CAT5 LCD KVM over IP — KL1508AiN ($2,069.43) Review
ATEN KL1508AiN 8 port 19 inch dual rail CAT5 LCD KVM over IP console drawer
The larger-screen 19-inch sibling of the KL1508AiM, pairing the same 8-port Cat5 KVM-over-IP console drawer electronics with a bigger, easier-to-read local display.
Overview
The KL1508AiN carries the same 8-port, Cat5 KVM-over-IP feature set as the KL1508AiM, but fits a full 19-inch LCD panel into the drawer for technicians who prefer a larger local screen over the more compact 17-inch option.
Screen Size Trade-off
The larger panel is easier to read during extended local console sessions but takes marginally more rack depth than the 17-inch model — worth checking against available rack clearance before choosing between the two.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the KL1508AiM, the only functional difference is screen size and a modest price increase; the IP networking, remote user support, and switching logic are identical. Against the local-only CL5808N, the KL1508AiN adds full remote IP access at a higher price point.
