Overview

The Monoprice 102540 PS/2 Extension Cable is a 50-foot cable designed to bridge the gap between your computer's PS/2 port and a keyboard or mouse positioned at a distance. It uses standard Mini Din 6-pin connectors — a male plug on one end and a female socket on the other — so it functions as a simple pass-through extension. This makes it particularly useful in conference rooms, server closets, or industrial settings where the input device needs to be located far from the host machine.

While PS/2 is a legacy interface, it remains in use on many older systems, industrial PCs, and KVM setups where USB is either unavailable or undesirable. Monoprice's Lifetime Warranty on cables adds peace of mind, and the cable's straightforward design means there are no drivers or adapters required. If your setup still depends on PS/2 peripherals and you need reliable distance, this cable delivers a simple, affordable solution.
