Can someone look at this. Is this what I need to extend a monitor, mouse &
keyboard into another room to lose the PC noise? Not to worry it's not some guy
blowing his brains out. Thanks

That cable is for a KVM switch (belkin's omniview specifically) hence the
rediculous price! Its gold plated aswel, woohooo!
It's not what you need
What you're after is a male to female ps2 lead (x2)
male to female monitor lead (x1)
If it costs anymore than £30 you are being robbed

You can get them far cheaper from www.mpja.com
http://www.mpja.com/productview.asp?product=14258+CB
for a six foot KVM cable, $9.98 each. They also have longer
ones that are seperate. Their stock varies, so you have to
keep checking to see what they have.
Video quality does degrade with the longer VGA cables.
