Why does it say it must use proprietary cables? Can normal vga and USB cables work?

Yes, that is correct. The Tripp Lite KVM Switch model B006-VU4-R does require proprietary cables from Tripp-Lite. These cables have non-standard gender connector at one end. The cables can be purchased from amazon.

It's only half of the answer. I bought this cable thinking it was a smart cable that would convert SVGA from my computer to HMDI for the TV. It is not. You will also need a VGA to HDMI converter. Luckily they are available to convert video and sound (USB plug) and needs no external power.

I got it to work with my PC but not my PS3 that it was intended for. I think it requires that it uses analog and digital with the vga? Not sure. Hope that helps bro. "Be excellent to each other!" - Abe Lincoln

Sorry. I've never done dual VGA board setups. ASUS specs list both but no idea how well in practice.

Yes. There is one VGA port. It's located between the USB and Ethernet ports.

I've only connected both the USB and VGA connector , they are separate cables so if you just want to use either you can. the only problem is that the USB part is what supplies power to the KVM switch (if you are using one) and the switch needs power from somewhere to work.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

There is a VGA port and a HDMI Port.However I don't think that is a problem.It get four USB3.0 Ports and we can output display with USB3.0 to HDMI,DVI or VGA adapter.

OS has norlthing to do with what type of monitor you need. You need to have the right type of connector on your video card to support it.

No, this is a serial to USB adapter. It has nothing to do with VGA or video.

The cable is not proprietary so you can use any compatible cable you want. The provide cable is convenient as it fits within the space for the cable perfectly.

RCA to VGA is correct...I use it to view my XBOX play on my desktop monitor...worx great! It has a 5v adapter you plug into the wall..no USB.

You cannot use the cheap passive adapters for DVI to vga because the card has only DVI-I outputs. The expensive active adapters are required.
