Cables

Use of substandard cables may damage the connected devices or degrade overall performance. For optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use the following high quality CS Custom Cable sets:

Computer Connector Type	CS Custom Cable
AT (5 pin DIN) Keyboard and Serial Mouse Ports	2L-1701P + Keyboard & Mouse Adapters
PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN) Keyboard and Mouse Ports	2L-1701P
Cascading to Second Stage Master View	2L-1601P

Note: 1. If your computer uses a standard AT style keyboard socket you will need to purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter (Part No. 2A-106, or any standard keyboard adapter), in order to plug the cable into the computer’s keyboard port.

2.If your computer uses a standard 9 pin serial port for the mouse, you will need to purchase a PS/2-to-Serial mouse adapter (Part No. 2A-105; a standard mouse adapter will probably not work), in order to plug the cable into the computer’s serial port.
