USB KVM Cable ATEN 1.8 m — VGA video, black, model 2L5202UP

The ATEN USB KVM Cable 1.8 m (model 2L5202UP) is a black, lightweight interconnect cable designed to link keyboard, video and mouse signals between a computer and an ATEN KVM switch or console. The cable supports VGA video output and USB connectivity while incorporating a built-in PS/2-to-USB converter to accommodate legacy PS/2 keyboards and mice. At 1.8 m length and approximately 180 g weight, it is suitable for desktop setups and server rack environments where VGA display and USB peripheral sharing are required.

Advantages

This KVM cable simplifies cable management by combining VGA video and USB data lines into a single assembly, reducing the number of separate connectors required at the workstation or rack console. The integrated PS/2-to-USB conversion allows older PS/2 peripherals to be used without additional adapters. Its 1.8 m length balances reach and compactness for typical desk-to-switch distances, and the black jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with common IT equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer to an ATEN KVM switch or console that requires VGA video and USB keyboard/mouse signals
• Desktop workstations where a compact, single-cable KVM connection is preferred
• Server rack consoles in data centers or server rooms using VGA monitors and USB peripherals
• Environments using legacy PS/2 keyboards or mice that need PS/2-to-USB conversion

Key specifications

• Connectors (PC end): HD15 (VGA) and USB Type-A for keyboard/mouse/data
• Console connector: 3-in-1 SPHD combining keyboard, video and mouse signals
• Video port type: VGA (analog)
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Color: Black
• Built-in PS/2-to-USB converter for PS/2 peripheral compatibility
• Lightweight construction (~180 g)

How to use

Connect the HD15 (VGA) and USB Type-A connectors at the PC end to the corresponding VGA video output and a USB port on the computer. Plug the 3-in-1 SPHD console connector into the KVM switch or console port designated for keyboard, video and mouse. If using PS/2 peripherals, attach them to the console connector as specified; the cable’s internal converter will handle translation to USB signals. Power on the connected devices and select the correct KVM channel on the switch or console to begin using the shared monitor and input devices.

Usage recommendations

For reliable signal quality, avoid routing the cable near large sources of electromagnetic interference and secure connections with the device retention screws where available. Use the 1.8 m length for close-to-rack or desktop installations; for longer runs, consider using a longer certified KVM cable or an appropriate extender solution. Verify compatibility with your KVM switch model using the manufacturer’s KVM cables table before installation.
