ATEN PS/2 KVM Cable 1,8m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you need to get an old-school PS/2 KVM setup talking, this ATEN PS/2 KVM cable is exactly the kind of boring-but-necessary part that saves the day. At £17.58 ex-VAT for an 1.8m lead, it’s priced like a genuine support accessory rather than a generic throwaway cable, and that matters with KVMs because flaky signal leads can turn into intermittent keyboard/mouse weirdness that wastes far more time than the cable itself. For a UK office or small server room with legacy equipment, it’s a sensible buy to replace a worn cable, extend reach, or tidy up a messy run.

That said, it’s only worth it if you’re definitely dealing with PS/2 KVM ports. If your KVM or hosts are USB (or you’re using newer hybrid setups), you’ll end up spending money on the wrong bit of kit. Also, if your cabling needs are tight and you don’t actually have an existing short/failed cable, don’t buy spares “just in case” — keep it focused to where you’ll use it immediately.
