In a perfect world, the server room would be next door to your office. For the real world, there's StarTech.com's SV565UTPGB. Using standard UTP network cable, this KVM extender allows you to control a server (or many computers connected to a KVM switch) up to 500 feet away from your office or other monitoring location.

For added convenience, the extender supports both PS/2 and USB computer connections.
