Description

StarTech GC46MF PS/2 Mouse to USB Adapter

Overview

The StarTech GC46MF adapter bridges the gap between legacy PS/2 peripherals and modern USB ports. This compact adapter allows you to connect a PS/2 mouse to a computer or system that only offers USB connectivity, such as many modern NVRs or industrial PCs. Its plug-and-play design means no drivers are required for installation, enabling immediate use in surveillance or automation environments where quick setup is critical. The adapter is black and measures just 2.0 inches long, making it unobtrusive in any setup.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed to interface with any standard PS/2 (6-pin Mini-DIN) mouse and connect it to a USB 2.0 Type-A port. It is compatible with systems that provide USB power and data, including Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, as well as many embedded systems like network video recorders (NVRs) that feature USB ports for peripheral input.

Installation Notes

Connect the PS/2 mouse to the 6-pin female connector on the adapter. Then, plug the USB Type-A male connector into an available USB port on your host device. The adapter draws power directly from the USB port (drawing under 480Mbps bandwidth) and requires no external power supply. Ensure the PS/2 device is compatible with USB HID (Human Interface Device) standards for optimal performance.
