ATEN 2L5303P KVM Combo Cable — DB-15, PS/2, and 3.5mm Audio

Overview

The ATEN 2L5303P is a KVM combination cable that consolidates keyboard, video, mouse, and audio connections into a single run between a host system and a compatible ATEN KVM switch. It terminates in a DB-15 connector on the switch side and breaks out to dual 6-pin PS/2 connectors (keyboard and mouse) plus a 3.5mm mini-phone audio jack on the computer side. The 2L5303P is engineered for installations where a single tidy cable drop per server or workstation is preferred over running separate peripheral cables — common in rack-mounted KVM switch deployments in server rooms, operations centers, and AV control environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ATEN KVM switches that accept the DB-15 combo cable interface — including the ATEN CS-series and similar PS/2-based KVM product families. The PS/2 termination means this cable is suited specifically to legacy or PS/2-equipped workstations and servers; it is not compatible with USB-only hosts without an active PS/2-to-USB adapter. Confirm your KVM switch model accepts the DB-15 combo interface and that the connected systems have active PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports before ordering. The 3.5mm audio leg connects to standard analog audio in/out jacks on the host — not applicable to systems relying on USB or digital audio exclusively.

Installation Notes

Route the cable with the DB-15 end to the KVM switch port and seat the PS/2 connectors firmly — PS/2 is not hot-swappable, so connect with the system powered down to avoid port damage. The 3.5mm audio connector is passive; both audio input and output functionality depend on the KVM switch's audio switching support. Verify cable-length requirements against your rack layout before installation, as KVM signal integrity over PS/2 is distance-sensitive.
