KVM cable ATEN 2L-5305P VGA with PS/2 and audio, black, 5 m

The ATEN 2L-5305P VGA with PS/2 and audio, black, 5 m is a multi-function KVM cable engineered to connect a computer to a KVM switch or console using a single, integrated lead. This 5-meter cable carries analog VGA video signals along with separate PS/2 connections for keyboard and mouse and dedicated audio lines, allowing video, input control and sound to be routed together without multiple separate cables. The black jacket and molded connectors are designed for server-room and desktop environments where reliable, tidy cabling is required.

Advantages

This cable reduces installation complexity by combining VGA video, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and audio into a single assembly, minimizing cable clutter and connection errors. The 5 m length provides flexibility for mounting KVM switches away from workstations or servers while maintaining signal integrity for typical analog VGA setups. Color-coded and molded connectors ensure correct orientation and robust physical connections suitable for repeated plug/unplug cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or server to a KVM switch in server rooms or control cabinets
• Workstation environments where integrated video, keyboard/mouse and audio cabling is preferred
• IT maintenance and rack-mounted console access requiring a single multi-connector cable

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Video interface: analog VGA
• Keyboard/mouse interface: PS/2 connections
• Audio: separate stereo audio lines
• Connector finish: molded, color-coded plugs
• Cable color: black

How to use

Connect the VGA plug to the computer’s VGA output and the PS/2 plugs to the keyboard and mouse ports; match plug colors or labels if present. Insert the audio plug into the computer’s line-out or speaker output. At the other end, plug the corresponding connectors into the KVM switch or console ports. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and secure any thumbscrews on VGA connectors to maintain a stable video connection. Power on connected devices and switch the KVM to the appropriate port to access the target computer.

Usage recommendations

For best results, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference. Inspect connectors periodically for wear, and use the 5 m length to position KVM switches where airflow and access are optimal. This cable is intended for analog VGA environments and legacy PS/2 peripherals; confirm compatibility with your KVM model before use.
