IOGEAR cables and KVM switches

I have never had any problems with IOGEAR products. As a system administrator, I have several home computers with different operating systems at home. My IOGEAR KVM switches and cables work with all operating systems and the IOGEAR hardware works without patching when I plug it in for the first time. I think IOGEAR likes its own reputation for serious functionality. I also.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative

KVM is a great device. I researched this online before deciding.

I have a couple of these for the IOGear KVM kit I bought from Revain. KVM is a great device. I did some research online before deciding on this one. Please note that the yellow connector that comes with the IOGear is NOT VGA, although it looks very similar. Excellent seller! FAST shipping, highly recommended! Thank you! AAA++++

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Security

Electronic cables are not as cheap as they used to be.

Runs like clockwork! I just wish there was a cheaper price for the cable. If I hadn't accidentally snapped off the pins on the old cable, I wouldn't have had to buy a replacement at all. Pooh! ;-)

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Some defects

Needed more of these for the KVM I bought a few years ago

KVM kit I bought a few years ago came with a combination of 6ft and 10ft cables delivered. It was fine when I didn't have a rack and needed a bit more distance to get to some other systems, but I installed it in the middle of the rack and the 6ft cables are already too long; 10 feet would just be tasteless. At least I get a shorter version.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • The flimsy

Long Haul KVM

A great way to extend your KVM switch to another tower. I had a setup with one tower right below where I work and another about 5 feet away from me. A standard KVM switch won't get that far, but by swapping out one of the cables I was able to control/work both computers.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Neutral

Love my KVM is the best among KVM switches

I was very pleased to know that cables for IOGEAR KVM can be purchased separately. I bought a KVM with half the PS2 cables and half the USB cables because I had several older machines that used PS2. In retrospect, that wasn't necessarily the best decision. I then replaced all but one of the old boxes with new models that don't support PS2. I tried using a PS2 USB bridge; but that didn't seem to make KVM very happy. The moral of the story is don't skimp on the right cable. What you save in…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Overpriced: KVM switches

Overpriced for a second tier company. The worst thing is that they are proprietary and only work on certain models. You'll end up paying as much or more than a good Belkin

Pros
  • handy
Cons
  • worries me
