Aten 8-Port USB HDMI/Audio Cat 5e/6 KVM over IP Switch KE6900AiT

The Aten KE6900AiT is a single-port USB HDMI/Audio KVM over IP transmitter unit designed to extend keyboard, video, mouse, and audio signals across standard Cat 5e/6 cabling or TCP/IP networks. Operating as the transmitter (local) component in the KE6900 series architecture, it captures HDMI video at resolutions up to 1920×1200 and transmits the signal to a compatible KE6900AR receiver unit, enabling remote desktop access at distances far exceeding conventional KVM extender limits. The unit supports both point-to-point and matrix configurations, making it suitable for deployment within the ATEN KEManager software-managed matrix environment where multiple transmitters and receivers can be mapped dynamically across an IP fabric.

The KE6900AiT integrates virtual media support, RS-232 serial control, and stereo audio extension alongside its core KVM functionality. It connects to the source computer via a single HDMI video input and USB Type-B port, consolidating all signal types into a single RJ-45 network uplink. The transmitter supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet and includes an SFP slot for fiber connectivity, providing deployment flexibility in environments where copper runs are impractical. Video compression ensures smooth transmission across shared IP infrastructure without dedicated point-to-point cabling.

Targeted at broadcast control rooms, network operations centers, security monitoring environments, and industrial automation facilities, the KE6900AiT is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation. Its fanless metal chassis supports rack-side or wall-mount installation near source equipment, while the IP-based architecture allows operators at remote receiver stations to maintain full interactive control of connected systems. Integration with ATEN's KEManager software enables centralized access management, on-screen display switching, and scalable matrix expansion across enterprise campus networks.

Ideal for

• Broadcast and media production control rooms requiring low-latency HDMI KVM extension from production servers to operator desks across structured cabling infrastructure
• Network operations centers centralizing access to rack-mounted servers and appliances located in secure data halls, with operators working from a separate NOC floor
• Security and surveillance command centers extending video and control signals from recording servers or VMS workstations to monitoring operator positions
• Industrial automation facilities extending HMI workstation control over IP to remote supervisor stations away from harsh floor environments
• University and government AV/IT hybrid environments deploying matrix KVM switching to share HDMI source systems among multiple operator stations managed via KEManager
• Healthcare imaging or diagnostic environments where workstation access must be extended from equipment rooms to clinical reading or reporting stations over existing network infrastructure
