We have KVM console made by Belkin and can't find usb/vga combo made by Belkin. Does anyone know if pin configuration are standard? Any suggestion?

My friend, TRENDnet cables are standard or universal, no problem in using another KVM switch, but you have to observe the detail if they accept the DBI KVM-15 to USB conversion and the best way to do it if you do not specify the equipment, is tested directly. We have tested and works. Luck!!

yes of course , no issues there The BIG feature where this Belkin unit works where others does not is that this is the only unit out of a dozen I tried that will work with OS-X TIGER Server (old OS version ) and this Belkin seems to need no additional driver support to work , idea when using an OLD Mac server with a conventional VGA+PS2 KVM switcher...Due to this reason , it's the only type I buy now (I have over a dozen of them, never had a failure, have had lots of other "cheap" units fail and the hassle does NOT justify a few $ save up-front IMO....)

I bought the 4 port model. It had the power supply and all the cables along with the KVM.

Yes. I haven't personally done it, but if you have 2 sets of input devices and only use the kvm for the monitor, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I am currently using one on a 4 port KVM it works great. That said it might depend on the KVM. If it has a USB port I would give it a shot.

Yes. At my workplace, I am using an HDMI Monitor, thus it won't work with the VGA outputs of the KVM. So, yes, I use it in order to eliminate an extra keyboard and mouse from cluttering the desk...

The other answers seem to leave out the AC adapter, which was a big selling point for me. For the two port version, you get: the KVM itself (obviously), an AC adapter and two KVM cables (these bundle DVI, USB, 3.5mm audio and mic). You'll need your own DVI cable to connect the KVM to your monitor, but that's the only thing not included.

to use different laptops with 1 monitor you will have to use the VGA connector , the USB is only for power and switching on a KVM switch. If you aren't using a KVM switch the USB is simply a straight through USB cable.

box contains - KVM switch with 2 attached (VGA/USB) cables and the push button switch to change between computers.each VGA/USB cable is molded together from the KVM switch until about a foot before the plugs connect to computer.

Mine came with the cable set, but they are USB cables. We have one (very) old box on our cluster at home that is somewhat cantankerous, and it needed a PS/2 cable which I had to buy separately, but this was not a surprise --- the same situation arose with the Belkin KVM switch I was using previously.

A lot is going to depend on your kernel version (regardless of what distro you're running), and the actual hardware you're using (video card, monitor, etc). Having said that, I'm currently using this KVM to switch between a desktop running Fedora 18 and a laptop/docking station that's running Fedora 19 and haven't run into any showstoppers yet. Had some issues with screen resolution when I tried to replace the OOTB Nvidia video drivers with the proprietary versions, and there are some keyboard shortcuts in the documentation that I found to be glaringly absent (see my review of the product for details), but none of the issues were big enough that I couldn't use the product.

To the best of my knowledge, there is not a compatibility factor with this cable. It is strictly a hardware device. Your KVM device will do the switching and is not a compatibility factor. Your computer should not know any difference between a cable going to a KVM or to a monitor...All that being said, I have not specifically tested it on Windows 8 however, I personally would be willing to spend $8 in confidence that it will work.

Hi Marla Not being around kvm much but it stands for keyboard video mouse. Unless there is a usb connection of A or B for a usb cable as such is here.

No mí amigo, utilice un cable Vga o un Hdmi para vídeo y audio este cable es para Kvm. Saludos

You can use that, but I have never had much luck with the USB to VGA adapters. you may want to try to use something like this:StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF)

My experience in this regard has not been positive. Initially, it seem to work, but later proved problematic with other functions so after disconnecting my printer/scanner from one of KVM usb ports I had been using, everything went back to functioning normal. I guess that's why they call it a "KVM" switch. **Note I was able to use one of the usb ports because I only needed one of the ports for my wireless Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse connection.
