This PS/2 + Video to USB + Video converter cable provides a simple interface between legacy PS/2 KVM systems and modern USB host computers. It converts keyboard and mouse signals while preserving video connectivity over the cable. The 15ft (5m) length offers flexible installation options in data rooms and control environments.

The cable integrates miniature keep alive circuitry to maintain keyboard and mouse presence even when the KVM switch is powered off. Colour coded, fully moulded connectors simplify identification and reduce wear on ports. Downloadable drivers support keyboard country code reporting and future firmware updates.

Technical design supports multi-platform connectivity for Sun, Mac, laptop and PC (USB) systems. DDC support and keyboard country code reporting ensure compatibility with Sun workstations. The intelligent communications layer allows enhanced feature negotiation when used with compatible MP series switches.

Connectivity includes PS/2 style interfaces on the KVM side and USB host connection on the computer side while preserving video signals through the cable. The cable is compatible with standard PS/2 style KVM switches and supports common video pass-through implementations. Colour coding and full moulding aid reliable connections and quick troubleshooting.

Typical use cases include integration of mixed-generation workstations into a single KVM infrastructure, migration paths from PS/2 to USB hosts, and environments where maintaining original video paths is required. The cable is suitable for control rooms, broadcast racks, server rooms and AV integration projects. It reduces the need for separate adapters and simplifies cabling runs.

Installation is plug-and-play when used with supported switches and hosts, with the downloadable driver option for specific keyboard layouts. Robust moulded construction and strain relief improve long-term reliability in repeated insertions. Overall the cable delivers a low-cost method to bridge PS/2 KVM systems to USB hosts while retaining video connectivity and operational reliability.
