Aten 2L5202UP Connection cable SPHD, 1.8 m, USB content_copy

The Aten 2L5202UP is a KVM cable set for connecting a computer or source to a KVM switch. The cable serves as a connection element between the source (PC, server) and the KVM switch, transmitting signals for video, keyboard, and mouse. It is specifically designed for systems where the interface at the computer uses USB and VGA, while the KVM switch features a 3-in-1 SPHD connector (keyboard, mouse, video). The cable length is 1.8 m, sufficient for use in server rooms or workstations with moderate distances. The cable is finished in black, making it visually unobtrusive and well-integrated in typical IT environments.

Applications
This cable is used in IT infrastructures where multiple computers are operated via a shared monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It is particularly suitable for KVM switch systems that enable centralized control of multiple devices. Typical use cases include server rooms, data centers, or IT administrators managing multiple systems from a single console. The integrated PS/2-to-USB converter allows connection of USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse) to a KVM switch that only provides PS/2 ports. This is especially useful when modern USB devices need to be used with older or specific KVM switches.

Functions and Features in Detail
One end of the cable features an HDB-15 plug (VGA) and a USB Type-A plug, which connect to the computer. The other end has an SPHD-15 plug, functioning as a 3-in-1 connector that simultaneously transmits signals for video, keyboard, and mouse. The integrated PS/2-to-USB converter enables the use of USB keyboards and mice with KVM switches that only support PS/2 interfaces. This reduces the need for separate converters or adapters. The connectors are designed as plugs, allowing direct connection without additional adapters.

Technology Explained Simply
The combination of VGA and USB at the source enables transmission of video signals and input data over a single cable. The SPHD-15 connector at the switch end is a 3-in-1 plug that combines signals for monitor, keyboard, and mouse into one cable. This reduces the number of required cables and simplifies cabling. The built-in PS/2-to-USB converter converts signals from USB peripherals into the PS/2 format expected by many KVM switches. This is particularly useful when modern USB devices are to be used with older or specific switches. The cable length of 1.8 m provides sufficient reach for typical arrangements in server rooms or workstations.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with a range of Aten KVM switch models, including CS72E, CS74E, ACS1208A, ACS1216A, CE250A, CE252, CL1000, CL1008, CL1016, KH0116, KL9108, KL9116, KN9108, KN9116, CE350, CE370. It can be used with various KVM consoles, such as models CL1000N and CL1000M in different keyboard layouts (e.g. FR, UK, IT, CH, SL, ES, US, D(P), F). Also mentioned as compatible devices are TFT drawers with integrated monitor (43,2 cm ( 17 inch ) or 48,3 cm ( 19 inch )) and 48,3 cm ( 19 inch )-1HE form factor. Combining this cable with these devices enables centralized control of multiple systems via a shared console.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by directly connecting the cable: one end connects the HDB-15 plug to the VGA port of the computer and the USB Type-A plug to the USB port. The other end connects the SPHD-15 plug into the corresponding 3-in-1 port of the KVM switch. The connection becomes active immediately once the devices are powered on. No additional settings or drivers are required, as signals are transmitted directly. The cable length of 1.8 m allows flexible device placement.

Operational Advantages
The cable simplifies cabling by combining video and USB signals into one cable. The integrated PS/2-to-USB converter enhances compatibility, allowing modern USB peripherals to be used with older KVM switches. The 3-in-1 SPHD interface reduces the number of required cables and simplifies installation. The cable length of 1.8 m provides sufficient flexibility for typical setups. The black finish makes it unobtrusive in IT environments. Usage is straightforward and does not require additional converters or adapters.
