L1Techs KVM Diagrams - Common Setups & Info

I have very in-depth info → here on the forum, but I realize some out there might prefer diagrams to better visualize how to setup their KVM.
Or, if you’re KVM-curious and wonder how much you’ll need to get for your setup, this can help at a glance. Let me know if you have any questions or if I missed something :smiley:

USB Standards (5-gigabit vs 10-gigabit)

10-gigabit is USB 3.2 Gen 2
5-gigabit is USB 3.2 Gen 1

USB-C / Combo KVMs (Data & Display) need at least USB-C 3.0 cables

Next is an IP version right, so I can replace IHSE/G&D/ADDER on all my system designs?

HDR, and low latency (10g/25g is fine)

These diagrams seem to be exactly what I’m looking for, but the links are now broken. Any chance you have the originals sitting around somewhere?

Hm? Which links? I can open them all.

Ah, the image links were being blocked by my company firewall, my bad :sweat_smile:Thanks for the prompt response
