Extender Mini DisplayPort KVM extender

    I'm looking to extend a console 50 feet away from one computer.

    The computer has USB for keyboard/mouse; DVI dual-link and mini DisplayPort video outputs.

    The console has Apple Cinema Display with a hard-wired video cable coming out of it with a mini DisplayPort (male) plug.

    Resolution must be dual-link.

    Can you recommend a reliable extension solution for this?

    AdderLink XD522 natively supports DisplayPort KVM extension, although you will still need to adapt to mini DisplayPort.

    Otherwise, you could use a dual-link DVI KVM extender (such as AdderLink X-DVI PRO DL or GCE616U or CE602) with an adapter (since DVI dual-link video is compatible with DisplayPort video).

    Unfortunately, though, we do not carry DisplayPort female to DVI male adapters.

    P.S. If you wish to respond or follow-up, it is better that you sign-in before you reply to this thread (instead of posting as a guest). This will allow you to easily look up this conversation anytime, anywhere, with just one mouse click. Learn more...
