kenable PS2 Keyboard / Mouse Extension Cable - 2m

No, this cable is specifically designed for PS/2 connectors and is not compatible with USB devices or ports. PS/2 and USB are different interface technologies.

No, drivers are not typically required for PS/2 extension cables. They act as a passive extension and are usually recognized automatically by the operating system as standard PS/2 input devices.

While some USB-to-PS/2 adapters exist, this extension cable is designed for native PS/2 connections. Performance and compatibility with adapters are not guaranteed and may vary.

The cable is constructed with 28AWG wire.

The cable length is 2 meters.

The cable features shielding and gold-flashed contacts to maintain signal integrity. For most standard usage, performance impact should be minimal. However, extremely sensitive applications might notice a slight difference compared to a direct connection.

The outer diameter of the cable jacket is 4.0mm.

Ensure the computer was turned off before connecting. Verify that both the computer and the peripheral have PS/2 ports. Try connecting the extension cable directly to the computer without the peripheral to rule out the cable as the issue. Check if the PS/2 ports on the computer are functional.

Check the connections at both ends of the extension cable for a secure fit. Ensure the cable is not physically damaged. The shielding may be compromised if the cable is severely bent or kinked. Consider testing without the extension cable if the problem persists.

Ensure you are using the correct PS/2 port for each device (purple for keyboard, green for mouse). Test each device and extension cable individually to isolate the faulty component.
