ATEN 2L1020P 60 (20M) PS/2 Console Extension Cable

Overview

The ATEN 2L1020P is a 20-meter console extension cable designed to provide a reliable connection between a KVM switch and a remote console. This cable consolidates three essential connections—PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA video—into a single, manageable unit. It is ideal for rack-mounted server environments where the physical location of the KVM switch is separated from the user's workspace, enabling convenient access without compromising signal integrity. The black, 20-meter length offers flexibility in rack layout and data center design.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to connect to standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports, and VGA video ports. It is compatible with KVM switches and servers utilizing 6-pin mini-DIN connectors for keyboard and mouse, and an HDB-15 connector for video. The specific connector types are 2x 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors and 1x HDB-15 male connector on one end, and 2x 6-pin mini-DIN male connectors and 1x HDB-15 female connector on the other end, facilitating extension of existing console cables.

Installation Notes

The 2L1020P cable utilizes standard PS/2 and VGA connectors, requiring no special drivers or software for operation. Ensure that the PS/2 ports on both the KVM switch and the target device are available and functional. The VGA connection supports standard analog video signals. The 20-meter length should be accounted for in cable management planning to prevent strain or damage.
