Re: VGA with removable connector ?

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are some other CAT5 based KVM's by Adderlink in the UK

http://www.adder.com/main.asp?id=508_2073

They occasionally come up on eBay - and there are varieties of model.
Interestingly one of them (AdderLink XL Gold) supports a serial port as
well as VGA, keyboard, speaker audio out, mic audio in , power, all over
one CAT5.   Having an option for a keyboard/mouse might not be useful of
course in your application. The serial link may support the touchscreen
back to the PC although port rates are very limited.  The XLGold also
supports a connection of a local console/PC at both ends of the link.

If you are short of space behind - are you able to run to a nearby
location where the box could be located and then onwards perhaps ?
