ATEN 2L5203UP KVM Cable

Overview

The ATEN 2L5203UP is a 3-meter black KVM cable designed to bridge the gap between older PS/2 peripheral devices and modern USB KVM switch ports. This cable is essential for environments where existing KVM infrastructure relies on PS/2 connections but requires integration with servers or devices that utilize USB for keyboard and mouse input. Its 3-meter length provides flexibility in rack deployments, allowing for organized cable runs without excessive slack. The 2L5203UP cable facilitates seamless communication between your keyboard/mouse and the KVM switch, ensuring reliable operation for server management tasks.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to connect devices with SPHD-15 connectors (typically found on older KVM switches for keyboard and mouse) to systems featuring a combination of HDB-15 video ports and USB Type-A ports. It is designed for use with KVM switches that require separate PS/2 keyboard and mouse signals and a VGA video signal, consolidating these into a single cable run to the switch's console port.

Installation Notes

Connectors are male on both ends. Ensure the SPHD-15 connector is inserted into the KVM switch console port and the HDB-15 (VGA) and USB Type-A connectors are plugged into the corresponding video and USB ports on the target computer or server. The cable's black color aids in differentiating it from other cabling in a dense rack environment.
