Your KVM switch has an RJ45 port. Your workstation has DisplayPort and USB. The gap between those two is where the KA7169 slots in. It bridges that connection cleanly — video over DisplayPort, USB for keyboard, mouse, and Smart Card/CAC readers where supported. Compact, light, and built with signal compensation and delay skew tech so your image stays sharp even at length. One thing to flag before you order: if your target PC runs Intel HD/UHD Graphics 630, this adapter won't play nice. In that case the KA7168 paired with a VC985 or VC986 converter is your move instead. For everything else on the compatible list below, it just works. Plug it in, switch machines, done
