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:

	2L-5203P - 3.0 m

Note: 1. The ACS-1208L/ACS1216L does not support serial mice. You cannot use Serial-to-PS/2 adapters with the extender cables. Attempts to do so will not work.

2.If your computer uses an 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.
