ATEN UC100KMA PS/2 to USB Adapter

Overview

The ATEN UC100KMA bridges the gap between legacy PS/2 peripherals and modern USB ports, enabling you to connect PS/2 keyboards and mice to systems that only offer USB connectivity. This adapter is particularly useful for integrating older rackmount servers or specialized industrial equipment that retain PS/2 ports but require USB-based input devices. Its compact 30 cm cable length minimizes clutter in tight spaces.

Compatibility

This adapter supports PS/2 devices and connects to USB Type-A ports. It is compatible with a range of operating systems including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Linux, Mac OS 8.6 or higher, and SUN Solaris 8. This broad platform support ensures integration into diverse IT environments.

Installation Notes

The UC100KMA operates via bus power, drawing power directly from the host USB port, eliminating the need for an external power supply. It supports a data rate of up to 12 Mbps, sufficient for standard keyboard and mouse operations. The adapter is designed for environments with non-condensing humidity up to 80% RH.
