ATEN PS/2 KVM Cable 5m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

ATEN’s PS/2 KVM cable (5m) is one of those boring, genuinely useful fixes when you’ve got an older keyboard/mouse setup and your KVM is just out of reach. For £25.13 ex‑VAT, you’re paying for a reliable, properly-matched cable rather than gambling with sketchy “compatible” leads that can cause flaky input or annoying disconnects. If you’re running PS/2 peripherals in an office, server room, or on legacy systems where USB adapters aren’t an option, this is the sort of thing that saves time during rollout and troubleshooting.

You probably *shouldn’t* buy it if you’re already standardising on USB KVMs or you’re building new environments—then you’re locking yourself into older tech for not much benefit. Also, be aware that with a 5m run, placement and cable routing matter; PS/2 generally behaves better when it’s not run across noisy power areas. But for straightforward “extend the last mile” situations with existing ATEN PS/2 KVM gear, it’s good value and the kind of accessory that earns its keep.
