Eaton 0DT60002 PS/2 to USB Converter TAA
Overview
The Eaton 0DT60002 is a PS/2 to USB converter designed to bridge legacy PS/2 peripherals (keyboards, mice) into modern USB-enabled systems. This is a passive adapter — no drivers required, no external power — meaning it plugs directly into a USB port and presents the connected PS/2 device as a USB HID (Human Interface Device) to the host. Deploy this when you have working PS/2 input devices but need to integrate them into surveillance control stations, KVM switches, or commercial systems that have phased out PS/2 ports in favor of USB.
Compatibility
The 0DT60002 works with any standard PS/2 keyboard or mouse (6-pin mini-DIN connector) and is compatible with USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 ports. It integrates with Eaton Minicom KVM switches and other commercial-grade control systems that require legacy PS/2 input support. If you are retrofitting existing surveillance control rooms or NOCs with newer hardware that lacks PS/2 ports, this adapter eliminates the need to replace functional peripherals. Verify your host system's USB port availability — the converter draws minimal bus power and does not require a powered USB hub.
Installation Notes
Plug the USB end into any available USB Type-A port on your host system; connect your PS/2 keyboard or mouse to the 6-pin PS/2 connector on the adapter. No configuration is necessary — the operating system will enumerate the device as a standard USB HID input device. The converter is passive and does not support PS/2 power-save features, so connected peripherals will receive power only while the host is active. If your PS/2 device uses proprietary macro or multimedia key mappings, verify compatibility before deployment in production environments — standard keyboard and mouse functions (characters, cursor movement, buttons) are universally supported.
