- Quality of Cat‑5e/6 cable matters — better cable = better image over long distances. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
- USB features beyond basic keyboard + mouse may not be supported fully (multimedia keys, extra buttons etc.). :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
- External power adapters required for both local and remote units. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
