The item 2L-5202P from Aten is a KVM cable set for connecting a computer system to a KVM switch. The cable is finished in black and has a cable length of 1.8 m. It is used for transmitting keyboard, mouse, and video signals and is specifically designed for use with various Aten KVM systems.
Applications
This KVM cable is used to connect a computer (as source) to a KVM switch, enabling multiple computers to be operated via a single console (keyboard, mouse, monitor). It is particularly suitable for environments where multiple systems need to be centrally controlled, such as data centres, server rooms, or IT management stations. The connection is made via standardised interfaces used in many Aten KVM products.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable features an HDB-15 plug (also known as HD-15 or VGA plug) at one end for video connection to the monitor, along with two 6-pin mini-DIN plugs (PS/2 standard) for keyboard and mouse. At the other end, there is an SPHD-15 plug, which serves as a 3-in-1 connector and transmits signals for keyboard, mouse, and video to the KVM switch. All connectors are plugs, enabling direct connection. The cable is flat, which facilitates installation and helps avoid tangling.
Technology Explained Simply
The SPHD-15 plug (also called a 3-in-1 plug) integrates the three signals – video, keyboard, and mouse – into a single connector, reducing the number of cables required. This simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter. The use of PS/2 plugs for keyboard and mouse is an established standard still used in many older and some modern KVM systems. The VGA connection (HDB-15) transmits analogue video signals and is suitable for connecting to CRT or LCD monitors with VGA inputs.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is designed for a wide range of Aten KVM systems, including models such as CS1708i, CS1716i, ACS1208A, ACS1216A, CL5708, CL5716, CL1000, CL5800, CL1008, CL1016, CN8000, KH0116, KL3116, KL3116T, KL9108, KL9116, KL1100, KN9108, KN9116, CS1708A, CS1716A, CL5808, CL5816, and CL3000. It is thus a universal connection cable set for various KVM switch models from Aten. Compatibility is ensured by the standardised interfaces used in the mentioned products.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply plugging the respective connectors into the corresponding ports. At the source (computer), the VGA plug is connected to the monitor port, and the two PS/2 plugs are connected to the keyboard and mouse ports. At the KVM switch, the SPHD-15 plug is inserted into the corresponding KVM port. The flat design of the cable facilitates routing and reduces the risk of tangling. No tools or additional mounting effort are required.
Advantages in Operation
Using this KVM cable enables clear and organised cabling, as all three signals (video, keyboard, mouse) are transmitted over a single cable. The cable length of 1.8 m provides sufficient flexibility for typical arrangements in server rooms or workstations. The use of PS/2 and VGA technology ensures compatibility with a wide range of existing systems. The robust construction of the cable and the use of standardised connectors ensure reliable signal transmission.
