Product Features
Technical Overview
This KVM cable features a precise connector configuration to handle multiple signal types simultaneously. The first end terminates with a USB Type A male connector for peripheral and data communication, a 3.5mm mini-phone stereo audio male connector for sound transmission, and an HD-15 male connector (standard VGA) for analog video. This combination allows a single cable to carry the essential signals needed for a complete workstation connection to a KVM switch.
The second end mirrors this functionality with a USB Type B male connector, another 3.5mm audio male connector, and a DVI-I (Single-Link) digital video male connector. The DVI-I interface supports both digital and analog video signals, ensuring broad display compatibility. The cable's construction is built to maintain signal integrity over its 1.80-meter span, supporting consistent performance during extended operation.
