IOGEAR USB KVM Cable, 6 Feet G2L5202U USB KVM 6 Feet

The KVM I purchased several years ago came with a combo of 6ft and 10ft cables. That was fine when I didn't have a rack and needed the extra stretch to get to some other systems, but, I mounted this in the middle of a rack and 6ft cables are already too long; 10ft would just be gaudy...at least I can get the shorter variety.

I've been slowly dropping the legacy PS2 systems and have to replace the cables with the USB variety (or use USB to PS2 adapters) These USB cables are lighter than their PS2 equivalents so are easy to route to the new machines.

I got a few of these for the IOGear KVM bundle I picked up on Amazon. The KVM is an excellent unit. I'd researched it online before I settled on this one. Note that the yellow connector that goes into the IOGear is NOT a VGA, though it's quite similar. Excellent seller! FAST shipping, HIGHLY recommended! Thank you! AAA+++

I have yet to have a problem with IOGEAR products. As a System Administrator, I have a few home computers of various Operating Systems at my residence. My IOGEAR KVMs and cables work with all OS' and without having to do patch work, the IOGEAR equipment works at first connection. I think IOGEAR likes their own reputation for no-nonsense functionality. I do too.

Excellent way to extend your KVM switch to another tower. Setup I had was one tower right below where I was working and the other one was about 5 feet away. Standard KVM switch will not reach that far, but by swapping one of the cables I was able to control / work on both computers.
