Cables

Although it’s possible to use standard extender cables to connect 
the PCs to the MiniView

TM

, for optimum signal integrity and to 

simplify the layout we 

strongly

 recommend that you use the high 

quality custom cables that are provided as part of the package. 
 
Note: The keyboard and mouse cables have PS/2 connectors at 
each end.  If your PC uses a standard AT style keyboard socket, 
you will need an AT-PS/2 keyboard adapter in order to plug the 
cable into the PC’s keyboard port. Be aware, however, that 
because of the wiring and pin assignments, attempting to use 
standard extender cables with adapters at both ends will not work. 
You cannot use an AT-PS/2 adapter at the end that plugs into the 
MiniView

TM

. 

The MiniView

TM

 supports PS/2 mice only.  Please note that 

PS/2-serial converters will not afford proper functionality with 
your MiniView

TM

 KVM switch.
