Monoprice 101173 PS2 Mini DIN6 Gender Changer

The Monoprice 101173 PS/2 Mini DIN6 Gender Changer is a simple female-to-female coupler designed to join two male 6-pin Mini-DIN plugs end to end. This makes it useful for extending PS/2 keyboard or mouse cables when the existing cable is too short to reach the computer, or for connecting two PS/2 devices through an intermediary cable run. The molded construction ensures a snug, reliable fit that maintains signal integrity across the connection.

Because it is a passive pass-through adapter, there is no signal conversion involved — both ends must be PS/2. While PS/2 ports have largely been superseded by USB on modern desktops and laptops, many legacy systems, industrial PCs, and KVM setups still rely on PS/2 connections, making a compact coupler like this a handy item to keep in a parts bin.
