Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The PS/2 Converter allows a standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse to be connected to a
PC up to 350 feet (approximately 106 meters) via a Category 5E/6 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) cable in a point-to-point configuration.
There are two components: The device-side component (500045) connects easily to a
PS/2 keyboard and mouse. The other component (500046) connects easily to the PC.
Both models may be used in pairs or in conjunction with each other.
Typical applications include classroom projector systems, digital signage, boardroom
systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical information systems.
