StarTech.com 6 ft. Ultra-Thin USB VGA 2-in-1 KVM Cable SVUSBVGA6

The StarTech.com SVUSBVGA6 is a 6 ft. 2-in-1 KVM cable that carries VGA video and USB keyboard and mouse signals between a KVM switch and a PC, making it suitable for VGA-based KVM setups that need a single cable run.

Recommended For

• IT staff connecting a PC or server to a compatible StarTech.com VGA/USB KVM switch who want one cable to carry VGA video and USB keyboard-and-mouse signals.
• People wiring KVM equipment in a cabinet or rack who want a thinner, combined cable to reduce cable clutter.
• Technicians maintaining systems that still use VGA video and USB peripherals, and whose KVM switch is listed as compatible with the SVUSBVGA6.
• Users making a short, 6-foot connection between a computer and KVM switch who want color-coded connectors to help identify connections during setup.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• At a desk with a compatible USB/VGA KVM switch, connect a desktop PC’s VGA video and USB to the switch so the user can select that computer using the shared monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
• When adding another VGA-and-USB computer to an existing KVM setup, use a compatible cable for that computer’s connection to the switch; the user can then switch the shared console between connected systems.
• In a workspace with an older VGA-equipped PC, connect its video and USB keyboard-and-mouse signals to a compatible VGA KVM switch, letting the user manage it from the switch’s shared console rather than keeping a separate set of controls at the computer.
• When replacing a missing or worn KVM host cable, use this cable with a compatible USB/VGA KVM switch to restore the computer’s video and USB input connection; compatibility with the particular switch should be checked first.
• Where separate VGA and USB leads would add clutter between a PC and a compatible KVM switch, use the combined cable to route both connections together, making the host-side wiring simpler to manage.
