What this cable connects

The Tripp Lite P780-006 is a six-foot KVM cable kit that links a single computer with USB or PS/2 ports to a Tripp Lite NetController B042-series KVM switch. It bundles the necessary video and data leads into one black assembly so you can control the attached system from the switch console.

Installation notes

Plug the HD15 male connector on the switch side into the B042 unit, then attach the HD15 male plus USB or PS/2 plugs on the computer side to the corresponding ports. The cable is keyed, so forced insertion can bend pins; align each connector before applying pressure. A common issue is mixing the USB and PS/2 heads — only the interface your computer actually uses should be connected.

Before you order

Verify that your KVM switch is a Tripp Lite B042-series model; the cable is not compatible with other switch families. Confirm the computer you intend to attach has either a USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse port plus a VGA-compatible HD15 video output. Check that a six-foot run reaches between the switch and the computer without strain.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the P780-006 is working after connecting it to a B042-Series KVM switch?

The keyboard, video and mouse for the attached computer should respond immediately through the switch; if all three function, the cable kit is operating correctly.

What connectors are included on the P780-006 and do I need any extra cables?

The kit provides four connectors — HD15 male on the switch side and HD15 male plus USB and PS/2 on the computer side — so no additional cables are required for a standard connection.

Which Tripp Lite KVM switch series is the 6 ft P780-006 designed for?

It is built for NetController B040-Series and B042-Series switches.
