Description

StarTech USBPS2PC PS/2 to USB Adapter

Overview

The StarTech USBPS2PC adapter bridges the gap between legacy PS/2 peripherals and modern USB-equipped systems. This is essential when deploying newer computers or servers that lack dedicated PS/2 ports but must integrate with existing PS/2 keyboards and mice. Its compact form factor and USB power draw make it ideal for clean installations in server racks or desktop environments where port availability is limited. The USBPS2PC model ensures your PS/2 input devices remain functional without requiring complex driver installations.

Compatibility

This adapter supports standard PS/2 keyboards and PS/2 mice, converting their signals to USB 2.0 Type-A. It is compatible with any operating system that supports USB Human Interface Devices (HID), including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It functions as a passive adapter, requiring no software drivers for basic keyboard and mouse functionality. It is suitable for use with servers, industrial PCs, and any system requiring PS/2 input via a USB port.

Installation Notes

The adapter is powered directly via the USB 2.0 port, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Its operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor environments. The steel construction offers durability. Ensure the connected PS/2 devices are compatible with USB HID standards for optimal performance.
