KVM Over Cat5e

May 20, 2007

I am trying to set up a server (not really going to serve web-pages just setting it up to download a few torrents at a friend house as the broadband gods laugh at me) any how back on point I was wondering if kvm over cat5e would allow me to to use to use the mouse, keyboard, and video from my home (I am on dial up)?

I will have a static ip so I can access the server of course but I can not afford an actual kvm over ip switch. So is it possible?

Or will I just have rely on good old fashioned webmin and the command line?

Server Specs:
Dual P3 1.26
1 gig sdram
OS FC6 (I am comfortable with been using it since FC2)

UK CAT5e Patch Cables

Nov 4, 2007

I'm searching for a UK supplier of quality (consistently up to CAT5e spec) stranded patch leads. I'll be buying in semi-bulk quantities; I'd estimate 5-10 of each cable, 50-100 in total.

They should be available in at least 0.5m, 1m, 2m and 3m lengths; longer lengths are unneeded. Ideally, they would be available in 10cm increments. Availability of multiple colors is important.

I'm also searching for 24/1U 48/1-2U CAT5e through coupler panels.

[remove spaces in links - the forum doesn't seem to like me even writing URLs] tinyurl.com / 2xdyn2h (unfortunately, I am not allowed to link to them) and tinyurl.com / yw29ch appear to be good. Comments on them would be appreciated.

Cablemonkeys through couplers are, IMO, very expensive for what you get - Mini5 are reasonable. What difference can you see between them? Cablemonkeys do appear to have better cable management.

I've heard of problems with mixing cable and patch panels from different manafacturers, though mostly with CAT6; would this apply with through-couplers?
