Belkin KVM

The cables of this KVM come out from opposite ends and the unit needed to be within reach in order to switch it because the switch is on the top of the unit. The cables are also very stiff and inflexible, so arranging it on your desk is just a pain - there is no nice way to do it! This mod uses phone jacks and a phone cord as an 'extension', so you can mount the actual switch as far away from the KVM unit as you want.
