KVM conversion cable purpose

The IBM 32P1649 converts a single PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse and VGA source into two RJ45 links on a 4,92 ft dongle. It lets administrators control compatible servers or switches from one console without extra adapters. The cable ships new and ready for rack deployment.

Who benefits and who should look elsewhere

Suits data-centre technicians who manage PS/2-and-VGA equipment through a KVM-over-IP or matrix switch with RJ45 ports. Not for buyers who need USB or DisplayPort console connections, servers that lack PS/2 or VGA outputs, or installations requiring longer reach than the supplied length.

Deciding specification — connector combination

The fixed breakout of one PS/2 keyboard, one PS/2 mouse, one VGA and two RJ45 ends determines whether the cable matches your KVM switch and target hardware. Verify the exact port layout on both sides before purchase.
