Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Single 15 ft run carries VGA video and USB-B data, cutting two cables to one
  • ✓ Confirmed compatible with Aten CS102U/CS104U and Belkin F1DN102U/104U/108U KVMs
  • ✓ 15 ft reach lets the KVM sit under a desk or in a rack away from the PC
  • ✓ Backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty, not a 1-3 year limited term

Cons

  • ✗ VGA analog only, so no DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort digital output
  • ✗ USB Type-B host end limits it to KVMs using the B-style port
  • ✗ 15 ft is the only length in this SKU; shorter runs mean coiling slack
  • ✗ No audio conductors, so speaker and mic switching needs separate cabling
