Ah, I was thinking about serial console servers. The cat6 stuff is
designed for longer range high voltage POE distributed across pairs
though, so I am still a little bit surprised that there is a problem,
especially if all of the cat-6 is properly installed. (The installation
is even more finicky than previous versions, as you might expect)

I'm pretty sure it is not a normal "serial" signal.
I don't know about *recent* KVMs, but as of about 6 years ago, the
dongles output a very analog signal on the Cat5. All the high powered
digitization of the VGA signal was done inside the KVM unit.
Over longer runs, your screen started to look like the old 1950's TVs...
This was with Dell IP based KVMs. Avocent like, but not quite. The
dongles looked identical, but were not interchangeable.
