Whilst this thread is running again, - I've actually got two of these
things, - a 4-port and an 8-port, (both electronic) but I need some more
cables for the 8-port one. All the KVM cables I've seen aren't quite right,
as for some reason they insist on using a Male-Female HD15 VGA connection,
(but male-male PS/2 K & M's).. I need a set that is ALL MALE, i.e.

Male PS/2   -   Male PS/2 (Keyboard)
Male PS/2   -   Male PS/2 (Mouse)
Male HD15   -   Male HD15 (VGA)

I only need between 1.5m - 3m length.

I suppose I could just use one of the "not quite right" ones, and
stick a
low-profile gender-bender on the HD15-F connector, but I'd rather do it
right....

I've already searched, Belkin, Lektropacks, DABS, SCAN, Ebuyer, Bechtle,
RSWWW, and all only have the ones with a HD15-FEMALE on one end.

If anybode finds an all male set (at reasonable cost) then please let me
know....

If I find some at a suitable price, it will enable me to free-up a 4-port
manual switch that I'm currently using, which will then be "up for
grabs..."

Cheers.

Paul G.
