KVM Extenders via CAT5

"I just wanted to drop you a note about how my install using your product went. The whole installation took practically no time at all and most of that was running the cat5 cable through conduit. I think this product (ST-C5KVM-300) is fantastic and the ease of use is just what I needed. I'm looking forward to more similar experiences."
