Description
Download Manual The CCUSB-5M is a PS/2 (+Video) to USB (+Video) converter cable designed to connect Sun, Mac, laptop or PC (USB) computers to PS/2 style KVM switches. It provides an intelligent interface that preserves keyboard and video signals while maintaining system compatibility across multiple platforms. This cable is supplied in a 32ft (10m) length to accommodate typical rack and console layouts.
Key features include fully moulded robust construction and colour coded connectors to simplify installation and reduce connection errors. The cable incorporates miniature keep alive circuitry that maintains keyboard presence to the host even if the KVM switch is powered off. An intelligent communications system allows enhanced integration with ADDER MP Matrix and 108 MP switches for improved control and detection.
Technical details include keyboard country code reporting and DDC support to ensure Sun compatibility and correct keyboard mapping. Downloadable drivers are available to support different keyboard layouts and future firmware improvements. The cable supports standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse signaling alongside video pass-through capabilities as indicated by the product designation.
Connectivity options cover PS/2 and video inputs on the KVM head and USB plus video outputs to the host computer, enabling mixed-platform environments to be managed from a PS/2 style KVM switch. The cable is compatible with any quality PS/2 style KVM switch and is specifically designed to cooperate with ADDER MP Matrix and 108 MP series products. Colour coded connectors simplify matching connections in multi-cable installations.
Typical use cases include migrating legacy Sun or PS/2 systems to modern USB-based hosts while preserving centralized KVM control, integrating mixed-OS server farms where consoles need to operate across Sun, Mac and PC systems, and installations where the KVM switch may be powered down but host devices must remain reachable. The cable’s keep alive circuitry improves system reliability in these environments. Its 32ft length provides flexibility for rack-to-console routing without intermediate adapters.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the fully moulded connectors and colour coding which reduce assembly time and connection errors. The cable’s construction provides durability for repeated plug cycles and rack environments. Overall the CCUSB-5M offers a practical, low-cost method to bridge PS/2 plus video KVM infrastructures to USB-equipped computers while preserving essential keyboard and video functions.
