* See the note under Cables in the next section.

Cables

Use of substandard cables may damage the connected devices or degrade overall
performance. For optimum signal integrity and to simplify the layout, we strongly
recommend that you use the following high quality CS Custom Cable sets:

Connector Purpose

CS Cable Part Number

AT (5 pin DIN) Keyboard and Serial Mouse

2L-1001P/C (1.8m) or
2L-1003P/C (3m)

PS/2 (6 pin mini-DIN) Keyboard and Mouse

Cascading Master Views

Note: 1. If your computer uses a standard AT style keyboard socket you will

need to purchase a PS/2-to-AT keyboard adapter (Part No. 2A-106,
or any standard keyboard adapter).

2. If your computer uses a standard 9 pin serial port for the mouse, you

will need to purchase a special PS/2-to-Serial mouse adapter (Part No.
2A-105); a standard mouse adapter will probably not work).

3. Because of the wiring and pin assignments, you cannot use a

Serial-to-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the switch.
Attempting to use a standard serial extender cable with adapters at
both ends will fail.
