ATEN 2L5210P KVM Cable
Overview
The ATEN 2L5210P is a 30-foot (10-meter) KVM cable designed for connecting modern servers with SPHD-15 connectors to legacy KVM switches or server consoles that utilize VGA and dual PS/2 ports. This cable ensures backward compatibility for environments that still rely on older server hardware or KVM infrastructure, allowing you to manage systems without requiring a full hardware overhaul. Its 30-foot length provides flexibility for routing within server racks and data center setups.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered to connect devices featuring an SPHD-15 male connector (often found on newer servers or KVM switches) to a console requiring a VGA male connector for video and two PS/2 male connectors for keyboard and mouse input. It is essential for bridging the gap between SPHD-15-equipped servers and KVM switches or server console units that lack SPHD-15 ports but support VGA and PS/2 interfaces.
Installation Notes
The cable features male connectors on both ends: SPHD-15 on one side and HD-15 (VGA) plus two Mini-DIN 6-pin (PS/2) connectors on the other. Ensure proper alignment and firm connection at both the server and the console/switch end to guarantee signal integrity. The 10-meter length allows for routing around equipment, but avoid sharp bends or excessive tension that could damage the internal conductors. Its black color helps with cable management and identification in dense server environments.
