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.<div>

This would require a run of about 25 feet tho.<br>

Does anyone have experience with KVM cables (not involving a KVM switch;<br>
just going from monitor to computer) that long? I've heard of people having<br>
problems with pushing the keyboard signal that far; and I've seen RF<br>
interference when crappy equipment is involved.<br>
<br>
Any brands that anyone can recommend?<br>

Newegg lists companies like StarTech and CablesToGo.<br>
