    Works great, KVM cables short
    5 Stars
    Works great, KVM cables short
    This KVM switch functions well, no surprises besides the one meter (short) computer cables. I especially like the EDID capture feature, which prevents the video cards from resetting to VGA-unrotated when they aren't driving the screen. I run two screens turned sideways for editing (and comparing) page-format content, this GC932UB feeds the left "editing" screen.The right screen is driven by a cheap two-input "BolAAzul DVI Switcher" (also from Amazon) which does NOT capture EDID. When IOGEAR sells an EDID-capture equivalent, I will buy it. Both computers have older Radeon dual port R7 450 video cards, with Displayport outputs converted to DVI with FEMORO DP-to-DVI dongles (also from Amazon). I've also tested the setup with much older nVidia dual-DVI cards (which draw way too much power).But what's my beef about short cables?I sometimes pull the computers out (on a roller platform) to work on them; if the KVM is on the bench-top (with cables running down the back), the computers can't roll out far. My bench-top would be a litter of cables, the GC932UB status lights would be behind the screens, and the dust would grow to bunny size.Instead, I bolted a one foot length of 2x4 /beneath/ my workbench, above the computers and to the right of my leg well, and attached the GC932UB vertically to that board with zip-ties. The USB connections and remote cable hang downwards, and feed through a loose Velcro tie hanging from a large eye-screw on the bottom of the board. The DVI and KVM cables also loop through the Velcro tie, with a large bend radius to protect the cables, see the first photo.The second photo shows the desktop and the bottoms of my "tops-together" rotated screens. The remote button for the GC932UB is velcro-taped to the monitor stand on the left, the remote button for the BolAAzul right-screen switch velcro-taped to the right. (question for IOGEAR - why does a push-button switch need a four-conductor plug? A two-conductor plug would be cheaper to manufacture and much easier to repair).The third photo shows the tangle of wires from the GC932UB to the left screen and mouse/keyboard and speakers, forked power cord with USB monitoring to the Tripp Lite UPS, MANY ethernet cables, etc. The fourth photo is the same from a different perspective.I hope the GC932UB remains trouble-free for decades, like the ancient Antec computer cases with their third generation of motherboards and sixth generation of storage drives. The best computer hardware should demand no more attention than my office chair.(BTW, I'm a freelance electronics engineer, one of the "elizabeth statice" team, and my linux machines are "gate" and "ohm" for logic design and analog design respectively. nanometers to terameters, femtowatts to gigawatts)
