ATEN KA7120 PS/2 KVM Adapter Cable

Overview

The ATEN KA7120 is a PS/2 KVM adapter cable designed to connect PS/2 keyboards and mice to a KVM switch's console port, enabling management of servers or devices that utilize PS/2 interfaces. This is particularly relevant for environments still relying on older server hardware or specific rack-mount KVM switches where direct PS/2 connectivity is required. The KA7120 facilitates the conversion of PS/2 signals to a format compatible with the KVM switch's CPU module interface, ensuring seamless integration without requiring a full hardware refresh.

Compatibility

This adapter cable is engineered to interface with ATEN KVM switches that feature PS/2 console ports and require a specific CPU module connection. It connects to the computer side via 2 x 6-pin Mini-DIN male connectors for the keyboard and mouse, and to the KVM switch's CPU module port via a single HDB-15 male connector. Verify compatibility with your specific ATEN KVM switch model and its supported CPU module types.

Installation Notes

The KA7120 is designed for straightforward plug-and-play installation. The storage temperature range is -20–60°C, indicating its suitability for typical controlled IT environments. Power is delivered through the connected PS/2 ports, requiring no external power supply.
