This Belkin Power Adapter for Modular Series SKVM is a wall-wart style power adapter. It plugs directly a power outlet, looking like a big bump on your wall, and has a DC out power lead, limiting the electrical interference from the conversion of AC to DC voltage that can affect your SKVM. The adapter supports worldwide power (with appropriate physical plug adapters), converting it to 12 VDC @ 2.5A.
Matching your monitor's resolution and refresh rate capabilities with the KVM is crucial, as many budget switches cap out at 4K 30Hz or 1080p. Ensure it supports the exact number of monitors and computers you need. Available from $39.99.
KVM switches require very little electricity and have no consumables. Ownership costs are effectively zero beyond the initial purchase and required cabling.
Common Failure Modes
