  KVM Extenders and Macs

  Posted by Jeremy Garchow on November 15, 2007 at 4:52 am

  We are moving! Yay!

  Since we have the time and opportunity, we are going to try and wire up our two main suites together in a central location. Ideally, I would like to keep all machines in that location (computers and all) and have only the necessary audio/video monitors and keyboards in the suites themselves. Does anyone have Gefen KVM extenders and do they work with Apple monitors?

  I have been doing some research, but can’t really come up with the fool proof way. Can KVMs handle 30″ monitors? Which model do I need?

  Fortunately, the cable run is not long (no more then 20 feet from each suite to the central locale).

  Also, does anyone have a line on a small cooling or a/c system that doesn’t need external venting?

  Trying to get all our ducks in a row before we move. Thanks all.

  Jeremy

  I don’t know about the Gefens… but Avocent Corporation is one of our big corporate clients, and we just finished an industrial for them… and they make KVM switches that do indeed work for Macs. You might check out their products.
