PS/2 Cable ShiverPeaks BS78107-3 3m 6-p Mini-DIN Grey

The ShiverPeaks BS78107-3 PS/2 cable is a 3-metre connection cable with 6-pin Mini-DIN connectors on both ends, intended for linking PS/2-compatible input devices such as keyboards and mice to computers or KVM switches. The cable provides a standard-wired interface for data and clock lines used by PS/2 peripherals, while the grey jacket offers a neutral finish that suits office and home environments. The 3 m length allows flexible placement of devices without strain on connectors.

Advantages

This PS/2 cable supports the legacy PS/2 protocol and offers a straightforward, low-latency wired connection between peripherals and host devices. The 6-pin Mini-DIN connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard PS/2 sockets. The 3-metre length reduces the need for immediate proximity between device and host, and the insulated outer jacket protects the internal conductors from wear and interference during normal use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PS/2 keyboards to desktop computers or KVM switches
• Connecting PS/2 mice and pointing devices
• Replacing or extending existing PS/2 cabling in workstations and legacy systems

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 metres
• Connector type: 6-pin Mini-DIN (PS/2) on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Wiring: Standard PS/2 signal and ground conductors for data and clock
• Usage: Designed for PS/2 peripheral connections

How to use

Switch off both the host device and the peripheral before connecting to prevent signal issues. Insert each 6-pin Mini-DIN connector into the corresponding PS/2 port until it seats gently; PS/2 connectors are keyed to fit in one orientation. After both ends are connected, power on the host and peripheral. The cable functions as a passive wired link for data and clock signals between the devices and requires no drivers.

Usage recommendations

Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain stable signal transmission. For installations where the PS/2 connector will be plugged and unplugged frequently, inspect connectors periodically for wear and ensure secure seating to prevent intermittent connections.
