Great KVM but take care with DVI cable lengths and monitor resolutions
Reviewed by Ed. Review Posted 16/10/2007

Great KVM with a March 2007 firmware update available from Avocent to handle MS/Logitech keyboards and mice for extra keys.

Comes with a UK power transformer.

Pros:
It handles high resolution DVI - 1680x1050 in my case.
Supports WinXP and Linux without troubles (haven't tried Solaris but it shouldn't be a problem)

Cons:
Take care with DVI cable lengths when running high resolutions. At 1680x1050 there is no signal using a 5m cable into the KVM and so you need a DVI signal booster.
The KVM doesn't come with any leads. These need to be puchased separately (whether using Avocent all-in-one leads or individual leads)

  • Overall 5*
  • Ease of use 4*
  • Value for money 5*
