❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What types of cables are needed to connect my computers to the CS1768?
The CS1768 uses standard DVI, USB Type B, and 3.5mm audio connectors. You can use ATEN proprietary KVM cables (like the 2L-7D02U) or separate non-proprietary DVI, USB, and audio cables.

Q3: Can I use two screens simultaneously with this rack KVM switch?

To simultaneously display the output from multiple computers, you can stack up to 4 CS1768 units in Multi-Display mode to create a dual, triple, or quad display configuration according to your monitoring needs.
Q4: How does the cascading function work to manage more than 8 computers?
The CS1768 can be cascaded up to 3 hierarchical levels, allowing control of up to 512 computers from a single console.

This feature is ideal for large professional server installations and data centers.
