Correct, but they were inexpensive as well. We've noticed most other KVMs
did not include the cables, either.

I take it it doesn't come with the cables based on the fact that it isn't
mentioned as coming with any when I checked it out at CDW.

No, those 16 ports connect to proprietary dongles via CAT5e/CAT6. The
dongles plug into the USB/PS2 ports.
It is a nice unit. If I'm serious about KVM, I would either go with
Raritan or Avocent, which someone else mentioned a little bit ago. It
depends on what your needs (and possibly budget) are as to which one you
should go with. I honestly don't remember what the differences are now,
but
at the time I made the decision, Raritan was a better choice for us.
One cool thing is that you can mount a local drive over the IP
connection,
so as long as your connection is fast enough, you potentially would never
have to visit the server, even to do a bare-metal rebuild/restore.

You know, I've never messed around with KVM over IP. That looks like a
nice unit. I assume those 16 ports connect to the ILO ports on the
servers?

We've got the 16 port version of this one, and it supports practically
everything. I like it and have not had any issues. They have an 8 port.

Buying a couple of new servers and they dont have PS/2 ports so my
current KVM won't work for them. Can anyone recommend a simple rack mount
8
port USB/VGA KVM?
Thanks,
James
