APC by Schneider Electric AP5255 KVM Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP5255 is a 3.66-meter (12 ft) black KVM cable designed to bridge the gap between legacy KVM switches and modern video interfaces. This cable facilitates the connection of a computer's video output to a KVM console, ensuring signal integrity for keyboard, video, and mouse control in server room environments where efficient hardware management is critical. Its specific connector configuration makes it suitable for certain rackmount KVM systems.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with APC KVM switches and other KVM systems that utilize a 13W3 male connector for video input. The other end features a standard HD-15 male connector, common for VGA video signals. It is designed to interface with KVM consoles that require this specific 13W3 connection type for video, allowing you to integrate or maintain specific hardware configurations.

Installation Notes

The 3.66-meter length provides flexibility in routing within standard server racks, accommodating connections between equipment without excessive slack. The connectors are designed for a secure fit, preventing accidental disconnections that could disrupt control over managed systems. Ensure the 13W3 connector is properly seated on the KVM switch and the HD-15 connector is connected to the computer's video output.
