Cat5 KVM Question

[bluestrobe]

I can get a deal on this model locally:

BELKIN OmniView? F1DP104A 4-Port CAT5 KVM Switch
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817394004

I like the unit but can't find any cables that goes with this unit. I know cat5 run between the unit itself and the "conversion" cables that are at the computers but I can't find the cables that hook the cat5 from the KVM to each server. I searched Belkins web site and even google but have no part numbers or anything. Can anyone help? Is this a decent model? I've worked with Dell cat5 KVMs before and thought this would be something like it.

Do you need a Cat5 KVM? IOGear makes some bad-ass KVM switches.

Is this what you're looking for?

Yes I do. Normal KVMs (which I have one at the moment) don't have a range of 50ft

It's what I'm looking for but it says it can't be used with the model I'm getting.

edit: found this which would work:

Didn't think they would be $60 a piece though. Looks like I'll be saving up.

Wish I could but I don't have any server ends and he doesn't either. I heard they are POS's but compared to what a Dell costs, this is the best it gets for me.

what about vnc?

I've used VNC in the past but it didn't work well with some of my servers and it's always laggy.
