ATEN HDMI to DVI-D USB USB KVM Cable with Audio; 1,8M USB HDMI to DVI-D Secure KVM

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you already own an ATEN KVM and just need a proper “join the dots” lead, this is the kind of cable that keeps things simple. The big win is reliability: HDMI-to-DVI with audio over a USB-attached KVM setup tends to behave consistently, and at 1.8m it’s a sensible length for typical office desk-to-monitor arrangements. For a reseller, the £36.31 ex-VAT price feels fair for a niche interconnect where you don’t really want to gamble with compatibility or flaky adapters.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly. You need to confirm your KVM system expects this exact style of USB KVM cabling (and that your target monitor input is DVI-D, not DVI-I or plain DVI-D/HDMI assumptions). Also, if you’re trying to add audio “because you can,” bear in mind audio routing can be picky depending on your KVM model and how your endpoints are set up—so it’s worth checking that your KVM supports audio over that channel. If you’re not extending an existing ATEN KVM workflow, a cheaper generic HDMI-to-DVI adapter will usually be more trouble than it’s worth once you factor in audio and KVM switching expectations.
