AI-generated summary
If you’ve got an ATEN KVM setup and you’re trying to move a bit further away from the console, this DVI‑D + USB lead is a sensible, low-drama fix. Paying £35.64 ex‑VAT for a 5m cable is fair in the B2B world, and the real win is compatibility—these “match the KVM ecosystem” cables tend to just work without you playing detective with signal types and USB behaviour. For offices, training rooms, or any server room where the desk-to-rack distance is annoying, it’s the kind of purchase that saves hours of tinkering.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it unless you already know your KVM is expecting this exact cable style. If you’re missing the right video format (or you actually need HDMI/DisplayPort, or a different KVM model’s cabling), you’ll end up with a neat cable that doesn’t solve your problem. Also, 5m is long enough that you should avoid running it alongside noisy power cables—DVI links can be a bit unforgiving—so in cleaner cable paths it’s great, but in a chaotic trunking run I’d be cautious. Overall: good value for existing ATEN KVM owners; not a general “USB C to KVM” workaround.
