I am running displayport at 1440p at 60Hz - I used these cables, and they work fine:

However, based on some of the reviews, they will probably not work for higher resolutions or refresh rates at that length. There are active/amplified cables available, but I don't know how well they work.

KVM is a Black Box KV6202A-R2. Which I think is discontinued now, but the same people make similar items. The important thing is to get a KVM with EDID emulation - a lot of the cheaper KVMs don't have it and will tell the non-active system that the monitor is disconnected every time you switch, which causes all sorts of problems.
