Works great, but hard to find long cables7/6/2013 2:39:26 PM
Pros: This KVM does exactly what it says it does, reliably. It is a strong rack-mount capable setup.
Cons: The DVI-I cables I have found extremely difficult to find longer cables for it. 6' is easy. Longer than that, and it becomes difficult, even directly from StarTech. I ended up getting ones with built in audio/mic even though this KVM doesn't make use of that function.
Overall Review: If I had it to do all over again, I would have bought DVI-D instead of DVI-I. Since I am using this for a secondary sandbox lab I might have also been OK just to go with VGA and use adaptors. Or, at the time there was one that could do audio also but I have had very good luck with the reliability of StarTech in the past and though this is no exception, I still wish I would have went another direction; especially for the price.
