Keyboard PS/2 adapter cable, Logo 68013 — PS/2 to PS/2, gray

Logo 68013 is a compact PS/2 to PS/2 adapter cable in gray designed to provide a direct wired connection between PS/2 keyboards or mice and PS/2 ports on computers or other compatible devices. The passive adapter enables simple signal passthrough without requiring additional power or drivers, making it suitable for legacy systems and situations where a straightforward mechanical connection is needed.

Advantages

The adapter offers a small form factor that occupies minimal desk or rack space and reduces the need to replace existing PS/2 peripherals. As a passive cable, it does not require drivers or external power, ensuring plug-and-play operation on systems that support PS/2 connections. Its fixed wiring and standardized connectors provide reliable physical compatibility for older keyboards and mice that use the PS/2 interface.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PS/2 keyboard to a PS/2 port on a computer or KVM switch
• Connecting a PS/2 mouse to a system with a PS/2 socket
• Using with legacy PCs, servers, point-of-sale systems, or industrial equipment that require PS/2 input devices
• Temporarily replacing or extending a damaged PS/2 cable for troubleshooting or maintenance

Key specifications

• Connector type: PS/2 male to PS/2 female (PS/2 to PS/2 wiring)
• Cable function: Passive adapter for signal passthrough
• Color: Gray
• Compatibility: Standard PS/2 keyboards and mice, PS/2 ports on computers, KVM switches and compatible legacy equipment
• Power requirements: None (passive)

How to use

To use the Logo PS/2 adapter cable, align the PS/2 connector pins with the corresponding socket on the computer or KVM switch and firmly insert the connector until it seats. Plug the other PS/2 device into the matching connector on the adapter. No software installation is required; the connected device should be recognized by systems that support PS/2 peripherals. If the device is not detected, power-cycle the computer or re-seat the connections to ensure proper contact.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only with standard PS/2 peripherals and ports; avoid forcing the connector or using it in wet or dusty environments. For long-term installations or environments with frequent movement, consider a full replacement cable with strain relief to reduce wear at the connector. Handle the small adapter with care to prevent bent pins when connecting or disconnecting.
