[SOLVED] Can't find a KVM cable

[meckeard]

Hi all. I bought the following KVM switch and now need a cable exactly like the ones provided but much longer as I want to move my laptop:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089ZW5PW5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I can't find the company and posted a question on amazon but it went unanswered.

I did try 2 similar cables but they won't work so I assume it must be exactly like the ones included.

Does anyone know where I can find this type of cable? My search is turning up nothing.

Thanks!

hdmi extender should work just fine, depends on how far it needs to reach,for cat5e/cat6 hdmi extenders it can go up to 50m

I tried that but it won't work and I assumed it was due to the fact that the HDMI extender does not account for the USB part of the cable.

USB and HDMI cables are separate cables even when tied together, You can use a separate cable or extender for each one, USB shouldn't be longer than 5 meters.
