actually I've done 15 or 20 foot KVM cables going to Belkin KVM.  given the
KVM would run unpowered I don't think it was doing much with the signal.
 That was with PS2 keyboard/mouse, and did get that cheap 1U server in a
closet on the other side of the room for much more comfortable office.

Heck, still have that cable in a bin if  interested...
