Cable PS/2 ShiverPeaks BS78396 0.2 m 6-p Mini-DIN Grey

The ShiverPeaks BS78396 is a 0.2 m PS/2 cable with a 6-pin Mini-DIN male connector designed for connecting keyboards, mice, and other legacy peripherals to devices with PS/2 ports. Its short length reduces cable clutter and is suited for installations where space is limited. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates easily into office or home setups.

Advantages

This PS/2 cable offers a compact form factor for tidy cable management and reliable signal transmission over a short distance. The 6-pin Mini-DIN connector ensures secure mating with PS/2 ports, while the construction is intended to provide stable contact and resistance to everyday wear. The single-cable pack is convenient for replacements or simple single-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PS/2 keyboards to compatible desktop PCs and thin clients
• Connecting PS/2 mice to legacy systems and industrial equipment
• Short-reach connections inside compact workstations or point-of-sale systems
• Replacing a damaged PS/2 cable in server racks or office setups

Key specifications

• Cable type: PS/2 with 6-pin Mini-DIN male connector
• Length: 0.2 m (20 cm)
• Color: Grey jacket
• Conductor arrangement: suitable for PS/2 signal lines (data and clock) and power as required by the interface
• Packaging: single cable per pack

How to use

Plug the 6-pin Mini-DIN connector into the PS/2 port of the host device, aligning the connector key to ensure correct orientation. Connect the other end to the PS/2 peripheral such as a keyboard or mouse. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain a stable electrical connection. Because the cable is short, route it to avoid sharp bends or pinching that could damage the jacket or internal conductors.

Usage recommendations

Use this short PS/2 cable where minimal cable length is required and where devices are in close proximity. Avoid stretching the cable or exposing it to heavy mechanical stress. For long-term installations in high-traffic areas, consider routing the cable to prevent repeated bending at the connector ends.
