NTI KLX-500-V2-S (Chainable DVI/VGA KVM Extender via LAN / $357.66) Review
The NTI KLX-500-V2-S is a chainable DVI/VGA KVM extender that runs over a standard LAN connection, priced at $357.66.
The chainable design is the standout feature here — link multiple KLX-500 units together to reach additional remote rooms from one source PC, at the lowest price point of any network-based extender in this catalog.
Chainable Across Multiple Rooms
Unlike the fixed point-to-point pairs from Adder, Emerald and Gefen in this catalog, the KLX-500-V2-S is built to chain — daisy-link several units together so one source computer's DVI or VGA signal can reach multiple remote rooms without a full IP KVM matrix switch.
The Budget Entry to Networked Extension
At $357.66, this is the cheapest network-based KVM extender in this catalog by a wide margin, making it an accessible entry point for buyers who want LAN-based flexibility without paying enterprise IP KVM matrix pricing.
Comparison to Alternatives
The NTI ST-C5KVM-300, also from NTI, is a simpler point-to-point Cat5 extender without chaining but at a similar price. Gefen's EXT-DVIKA-LANS-TX/RX pair costs more but adds proper KVM-over-IP routing rather than a chained daisy-link topology.

Expert rating7 / 10
An affordable, genuinely useful chainable extender for reaching several remote rooms from one PC — just don't expect enterprise IP KVM matrix features at this price.
Best for
- Reaching multiple remote rooms from a single source PC via daisy-chaining
- Budget-limited networked KVM extension projects
- Simple DVI/VGA extension without needing a full IP KVM matrix switch
Not for
- Large enterprise deployments needing centralized matrix management software
- 4K or DisplayPort resolution needs
- Single fixed point-to-point runs where NTI's own ST-C5KVM-300 is simpler
