ATEN DVI-D Dual Link Secure KVM 1,8M USB DVI-D Dual Link

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £33.37 ex-VAT, this ATEN DVI-D Dual Link Secure KVM lead is the kind of “just gets the job done” accessory you buy when your existing KVM setup uses DVI and you’ve got a missing/incorrect cable. It’s a sensible choice for small offices, training rooms, or lab environments where people keep swapping peripherals and cables go missing. The dual-link angle matters if you’re trying to drive higher-resolution DVI displays reliably—so it’s not a generic throwaway cable, it’s the right form factor for specific KVM/monitor combinations.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it unless you’re 100% sure your KVM and monitors are DVI-D dual-link compatible. If you’re on HDMI/DisplayPort or your KVM is expecting a different signal format, you’ll waste time (and potentially end up with “it powers on but the picture looks wrong” headaches). Also, at 1.8m, it’s only ideal for tight racks/adjacent desks—if you need slack for cable routing or neat management, measure first. Overall: good value for the right, already-DVI-D KVM ecosystem; risky/pointless if you’re unsure what your system actually expects.
