Cables

Although it is possible to use generic extension cables to connect the PCs to the CS152F, for optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly recommend that you use the high quality KVM Cables included with your 2-Port KVM Switch.

Note:

1.If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket you will need to purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter in order to plug the cable into the computer's keyboard port.

2.If your PC uses a standard 9-pin serial port for the mouse, you will need to purchase a PS/2-to-Serial mouse adapter in order to plug the cable into the computer's serial port.

3.Because of the wiring and pin assignments, you cannot use a Serial-to-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the CS152F. Therefore, attempting to use a standard serial extender cable with adapters at both ends will fail.
