What customers say
Users highly value the Aten CE350 for its exceptional reliability and robust build quality, especially within legacy IT and industrial settings requiring PS/2, VGA, and RS-232 integration. It excels at extending KVM control over long distances using Cat5, delivering stable video and control signals without lag. While the specialized feature set, including serial pass-through, is indispensable for its niche, initial setup complexity regarding EDID settings can frustrate some users. The premium price point is frequently mentioned, leading to a perception that it offers high value only to those who absolutely need its specific, stable functionality.
