StarTech.com 6 ft. USB+VGA 2-in-1 KVM Switch Cable SVUSB2N1_6

The StarTech.com SVUSB2N1_6 is a 6 ft. 2-in-1 USB and VGA KVM cable for connecting a VGA- and USB-equipped computer to a KVM switch, making it suitable for users who want a simpler, less-cluttered connection.

Recommended For

• Users connecting a computer with VGA and USB-A ports to a compatible USB KVM switch, so one monitor and keyboard/mouse can be shared between computers.
• IT staff maintaining legacy or existing VGA-based KVM setups who need a replacement cable; check the KVM’s required cable type and compatibility list before ordering.
• Desk setups where the computer-to-KVM run is within 6 feet and bundling the VGA and USB connections into one bonded cable helps reduce separate cable runs and tangling.
• Organizations using compatible StarTech, ATEN, Belkin, Tripp Lite, C2G, or IOGEAR KVM models listed by StarTech that need a combined VGA-and-USB connection for each computer.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• At a desk where two VGA-equipped computers share one monitor, keyboard, and mouse, use this cable to connect one computer to a compatible KVM switch; switching between computers is handled by the KVM.
• In a home office with a work PC and a personal PC that both have VGA and USB connections, connect each machine to a compatible KVM with its own cable so you can use the shared desk peripherals with the selected computer.
• When setting up or servicing a workstation with a compatible VGA KVM, use the cable to carry that computer’s video and USB connections to the switch; the combined cable run can help keep the wiring less tangled than separate leads.
• In a small test bench with multiple VGA-based computers, connect each system to a compatible KVM using one of these cables, then use the KVM to select which computer is controlled from the shared console.
