USB VGA to RJ45 Dongle for MT-VIKI KVM Switch - Extend to 230ft

Our review of the USB VGA to RJ45 dongle focuses on IT technicians and small server-room managers who need a simple, reliable way to locate servers away from a console. The bottom line: this is a purpose-built dongle that extends VGA and USB signals over Cat5e/Cat6 up to 230ft (70m) and is best when paired with the matching MT-VIKI Cat5e KVM switches. It delivers clean VGA video without visible distortion and avoids the cost of long proprietary cabling, but it is strictly for use with the compatible MT-VIKI KVM models.

Key Features

• Proprietary compatibility: Designed specifically for MT-VIKI Cat5e KVM switches, it ensures plug-and-play connectivity with supported models.
• Long reach: Lets technicians place servers up to 230ft (70m) from the console using custom Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for flexible rack layouts.
• VGA signal quality: High-quality construction preserves VGA fidelity so displays remain free of distortion at typical resolutions for remote KVM use.
• USB connectivity: Passes USB console signals alongside VGA over the same Cat cable so keyboard and mouse control remain responsive.
• Single-pack convenience: Sold as a 1 pack which is useful when adding or replacing one dongle at a time in an existing KVM deployment.
• Warranty support: Backed by a 3 year warranty, offering longer-term support for business installations.

Who It's For

This dongle is ideal for network administrators, small data center operators, and IT staff who own MT-VIKI Cat5e KVM switches and need to extend console-to-server distance without reconfiguring racks or buying long, fixed consoles. It suits setups where one or a few servers are positioned away from the main console but still require local keyboard, video and mouse access.

It is not for users with KVM switches from other brands, since the dongle is proprietary and will not function with non-MT-VIKI Cat5e KVM consoles. If a universal or multi-vendor Cat5 KVM solution is required, consider a different, cross-compatible product.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extends VGA and USB control up to 230ft (70m), enabling flexible equipment placement.
• Maintains distortion-free VGA signal transmission for clear remote display output.
• Simple single-pack replacement or expansion option for MT-VIKI KVM owners.
• Three year warranty adds peace of mind for business use.

Cons

• Proprietary design means it only works with MT-VIKI Cat5e KVM switches and not with other brands.
• No analog audio or digital video support is mentioned, so modern digital-only setups may need alternatives.

Our Verdict

This dongle is a pragmatic buy for existing MT-VIKI KVM owners who need a reliable way to extend console reach without complex installation. It delivers clear VGA transmission and USB control to 230ft while staying cost effective, but its proprietary limitation means buyers outside the MT-VIKI ecosystem should look elsewhere.
