StarTech.com 10 ft 2-in-1 Universal USB KVM Cable

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

StarTech’s 10ft “2‑in‑1” universal KVM cable at £13.30 ex‑VAT is one of those boring-but-useful fixes. If you already have a KVM setup and you’re missing the right lead (or one’s gone flaky from repeated moves), this is a sensible, low-risk replacement that won’t force you into buying a whole new switch. At this price, you’re paying for compatibility and convenience more than performance—so it’s great for office/server-room continuity where the real goal is “get the KVM back online today.”

That said, I wouldn’t buy it as a starting point if you’re unsure what your KVM/switch expects. “Universal” in KVM land can still mean “universal-ish,” and the wrong cable is the kind of hassle that wastes more time than it saves money. If you know your KVM model and you’ve confirmed the connector type and pinout match, then yes—good value. If you don’t, it’s better to check what ports/cable type you currently use (or ask for the exact required cable) before ordering.
