ATEN CE250A KVM Console Extender, PS/2 - The ATEN CE250A new PS/2 KVM Console Extender allows access to a computer system or a KVM switch from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), from up to 500 feet away, via a CAT5e cable. This unit is perfect for moving the console away from the computer or the KVM switch. Your console can be moved across the room or hall, out of the server room, or anywhere that is most convenient. It is also useful for security and monitoring purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in the most convenient location for user access and monitoring. Aten CE250A PS/2 KVM Console Extender is a cost effective solution because it uses inexpensive UTP (CAT5e) cabling to extend the distance, versus expensive and bulky coaxial cabling. It is easy to install and operate because of the Auto Signal Compensation (ASC) technology, which senses the distance and adjusts the signal levels accordingly so there is no need to do any dip switch setting.

Question: computer without mouse and keyboard 6 pin mini-Din connection, can it be used with usb to ps2 adaptor
Answer: Unfortunately, we do not believe that a conversion would work in this case. The problem being that you are trying to extend a USB source, which takes significantly more power to extend. We have not tested this, so we cannot guarantee it one way or another, but your best bet is most likely to stick with a true USB extender. We have many options to choose from: https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/kvm-extender-usb.html. please feel free to contact us with more details about your solution and we can help pinpoint the most appropriate solution.
