The Manhattan 363785 is a
PS/2 extension cable with a cable length of 15 metres, specifically designed for extending PS/2 connections, for example for
keyboards or
mice. The cable features a
6-p Mini-DIN plug at one end and a
6-p Mini-DIN socket at the other end, serving as a connecting element between a PS/2 plug and a PS/2 port. The cable colour is
white, allowing it to blend discreetly into many office and work environments. The connection technology is based on the
Mini-DIN-6 connector, a standard for PS/2 peripheral devices, ensuring a stable mechanical and electrical connection.
Applications
The cable is primarily intended for use in office environments, workstations, or technical installations where extending the reach of PS/2 peripheral devices is required. It enables keyboards or mice to be placed at a remote location while maintaining the connection to the computer or a PS/2 port. The cable length of 15 metres provides sufficient flexibility for larger rooms or installations where devices cannot be placed directly at the computer.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The cable is equipped with a
6-p Mini-DIN plug at one end, which is inserted into a PS/2 port. At the other end, there is a
6-p Mini-DIN socket, into which a PS/2 plug (e.g. from a keyboard or mouse) is inserted. The design ensures that electrical signals are transmitted undisturbed between the device and the computer. The use of
Mini-DIN-6 connectors guarantees a secure and reliable connection, typical for PS/2 devices. The
white colour of the cable supports discreet integration into work environments.
Technology Explained Simply
The
6-p Mini-DIN connector is a standard for PS/2 connections, featuring six contacts (pins) responsible for data transmission and power supply for peripheral devices. The cable transmits signals between the device (keyboard or mouse) and the computer without requiring additional power sources. The cable length of 15 metres is suitable for use in larger rooms or installations with distance between device and computer. The connection does not depend on power supply through the cable itself, as PS/2 devices are powered via the connection to the computer.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with all devices featuring a
PS/2 port (6-p Mini-DIN), including keyboards and mice connected via this standard. It can be used as an extension cable between a PS/2 plug and a PS/2 port. The use is independent of the device brand, as long as the port conforms to the standard.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the
6-p Mini-DIN plug into the PS/2 port of the computer or a PS/2 port. At the other end, the
6-p Mini-DIN socket is connected to the PS/2 plug of the keyboard or mouse. The connection is mechanically stable and requires no additional tools or mounting aids. The cable length of 15 metres allows flexible placement of peripheral devices in the room.
Operational Advantages
The cable provides a reliable and stable connection for PS/2 peripheral devices over a distance of up to 15 metres. The use of
Mini-DIN-6 connectors ensures high mechanical and electrical quality. The
white colour supports discreet integration into work environments. The simple handling and direct connection without additional power supply facilitate use in existing systems.
