KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) adaptor cables are specialized cables that are designed to be used with KVM switches. KVM switches allow users to switch between different peripherals and protocols, enabling them to access multiple computers or servers from a single console.
These adaptor cables help to account for differences in connector types between the KVM switch and the computer or server being accessed. They provide a means of adapting the signals for keyboards, video displays, and mice so that they can be transmitted over various connector types, such as D-Sub 15 position connectors to USB, mini DIN, DVI-D dual link, RJ45, 3.5 mm, and HDMI.
Different cables are selected based on their length and compatibility with the specific KVM switch being used. The length of the cable is important because it determines how far away the computer or server being accessed can be from the user's console.
In addition to their use with KVM switches, these adaptor cables can also be used in other applications where signal conversion is required. For example, they can be used with low-resolution devices that require VGA signals to be converted into higher resolution digital signals or with devices that require analogue audio signals to be converted into digital signals.
Overall, KVM adaptor cables play a critical role in enabling users to access multiple computers or servers from a single console while accounting for differences in connector types and ensuring that signals are transmitted accurately and efficiently.
