KVM Cables for Keyboard, Video and Mouse Switching

KVM cables simplify managing multiple computers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. This category includes combined video and USB/PS/2 leads used with KVM switches for data centers, home labs and multi-PC workstations.

What matters for KVM setups

Match cable connectors to both your KVM switch and connected systems. Video format (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort) and peripheral interfaces (USB-A, USB-B, PS/2) must align. Cable length and shielding impact signal integrity, especially when routing through racks or across desks.

Common choices

• Integrated KVM leads – Bundled multi-cable assemblies for simple connection.
• Video-specific cables – VGA or digital video cables for monitor signals.
• USB/PS2 adapters – For older or mixed peripheral environments.

Clearance or refurbished KVM cables can be a cost-effective option for setting up labs or refurbishing server racks. Verify pinouts and connector types before purchasing to ensure plug-and-play compatibility with your KVM hardware.
