StarTech.com 10ft (3m) Dual-DVI KVM Cable, USB 2.0, 3.5mm Audio, Universally Compatible Combo Cable for KVM Switches, TAA Compliant

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve already got a DVI KVM switch setup and you just need a longer, reliable “combo” lead, this is a sensible buy. The main thing you’re paying for here is compatibility and sanity: one cable that handles the DVI video plus USB for keyboard/mouse and the 3.5mm audio path, so you avoid the nightmare of mixing mismatched adapters. At £74.70 ex-VAT for a 3m length, it’s not cheap, but it’s in the right ballpark for branded KVM cabling where the connectors and wiring really matter.

I’d only buy this if your KVM environment is specifically DVI-based and you need USB + audio on the same run. If you’ve got HDMI/DisplayPort gear, or if you don’t actually need the audio/USB parts, you may be overpaying for features you won’t use. It’s also the kind of cable you should keep “long-term”: don’t expect it to rescue a shaky signal chain—if your KVM switch or DVI ports are the real issue, this won’t fix that. Overall: good, dependable replacement/expansion cable for existing DVI KVM deployments; not a general-purpose solution.
