Cables

Although it’s possible to use standard extender cables to connect the PCs to the MiniViewTM, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout we strongly recommend that you use the high quality custom cables that are provided as part of the package.

Note: The keyboard and mouse cables have PS/2 connectors at each end. If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket, you will need an AT-PS/2 keyboard adapter in order to plug the cable into the PC’s keyboard port. Be aware, however, that because of the wiring and pin assignments, attempting to use standard extender cables with adapters at both ends will not work. You cannot use an AT-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the MiniViewTM.

The MiniViewTM supports PS/2 mice only. Please note that PS/2-serial converters will not afford proper functionality with your MiniViewTM KVM switch.
