Replace your bulky KVM cable with the USB Server Interface Pod (SIP) from Dell. It converts the keyboard, monitor, and mouse signals from a server and drives them up to 32.8 ft through a single CAT 5 cable. Moreover, the SIP cable draws its power from the server and has a keep alive functionality that is designed to keep your server working properly with or without connectivity to the KVM switch. This product has been tested and validated on Dell systems to ensure it will work with your KVM switch and is compatible with Dell 2161DS Remote Console Switch.
