Are there any KVM units out there that can do this?

[-=Antimatter=-]

Requirements:

1. Access server room from adjacent room (call it 150ft cable length)
2. Switch between 4 servers connected to transmitter side
3. Receiver side has 2 DVI displays (1920x1200), USB, audio
4. Rackmountable transmitter unit

So far all I can find are KVM switch units and TX/RX pairs, but no all-in-one units that can do both extension and switching. Any ideas? We're trying to conserve rack space. Right now I'm looking at Thinklogical, Gefen, Belkin...

and a web browser interface, so you still need a remote terminal to access all of this, though.

You cannot extend existing cables too far, due to voltage drops over distance.

EDIT: I am a Rose customer. Nothing new, however. VGA/PS-2 has still worked to this day, so we're not changing it.

Avocent has some dual dvi kvm units, not sure if any are usb though. They do have single dvi usb audio unit though.

Are you looking at any ip based kvms so you don't have to use a 150 ft cable to access it, just your web browser instead?

Unless it's improved since I last used it, we won't be looking at any IP-based solutions. We don't just need access to these servers, they will be workstations for real-time software development. Any lag, visual or otherwise, would be very annoying.

Sorry, Rose solutions do have a percievable lag, via IP. Direct links, however, are alright. Just nothing on the lengths you have requested. Too far.

I'm looking at other options, no worries

This looks promising if combined with a KVM switch in the racks:
