Black Box KVUSB2PS2 USB to PS/2 Converter Cable
Overview
The Black Box KVUSB2PS2 is a compact adapter designed to bridge the gap between modern USB-only systems and legacy PS/2 peripherals. This converter cable is essential when you need to connect older keyboards or mice to a computer or server that lacks dedicated PS/2 ports. Its primary application is in environments where existing PS/2 hardware must be retained, such as in some industrial control systems or older server rack configurations where space and port availability are critical. The KVUSB2PS2 ensures compatibility without requiring a full hardware upgrade.
Compatibility
This converter is designed to interface with standard USB ports on host systems (PCs, servers, KVM switches) and standard 6-pin Mini-DIN PS/2 connectors found on keyboards and mice. It supports the full functionality of connected PS/2 devices, including keyboard hotkeys and mouse scroll wheel operations, provided the host operating system has the necessary drivers.
Installation Notes
Plug-and-play installation is supported on most modern operating systems. Ensure the PS/2 device is disconnected from its original port before connecting it to the KVUSB2PS2 adapter. The adapter draws minimal power from the USB host port, typically under 500mA, and does not require external power. For optimal performance, ensure the host system's USB ports are functioning correctly.
