Cable purpose and target user

This Black Box Corporation cable connects a USB-equipped KVM switch to a PS/2 console. It carries VGA video and USB signals over a DB25 connector for server-room administrators who manage rack-mounted systems from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse.

Behaviour under sustained use

The 0.3-metre length keeps signal paths short, reducing attenuation during continuous operation in dense rack environments. GSA and TAA markings confirm the assembly meets federal procurement standards for extended deployments.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your KVM switch presents a DB25 user port and that the attached console uses PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors. Confirm the VGA input on your display matches the cable’s video interface.

Questions about this item

Does the 1-ft cable generate any heat or draw extra power in a rack that runs continuously?

The cable is a passive link with DB25, VGA and USB ends; it adds no active circuitry, so it contributes no measurable heat or power draw.

What ports must the KVM switch and the target computer provide for this cable to work?

The switch side needs a DB25 connector, while the computer side requires a VGA video port and a USB port for keyboard and mouse signals.

Will the DB25, VGA and USB connectors mate with legacy PS/2 KVM switches and older PCs?

The cable is built for ServSwitch USB-to-PS/2 setups, so its DB25 and VGA ends fit legacy switches and its USB end connects to older PCs that support USB keyboard and mouse input.
