KVM Cable for SC920D and SC940D Switches

This six-foot Avocent cable connects a computer to Vertiv Avocent SC920D or SC940D KVM switches. It carries dual DisplayPort video, USB keyboard and mouse signals, plus stereo audio through a single assembly. The fixed length suits typical rack or desk deployments.

Dual DisplayPort USB and Audio Connectors

Two DisplayPort male plugs on each end deliver two video channels without adapters. A USB Type B male on the computer side and USB Type A male on the switch side handle peripheral data. Mini-phone 3.5 mm stereo plugs on both ends route audio. All connections are moulded into the cable.

Six-Foot Length and Switch Compatibility

The 6 ft length limits placement distance between the source system and the SC920D or SC940D switch. It is not designed for other KVM models or for extending beyond this reach. Buyers needing longer runs or different switch interfaces must choose another cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5 mm audio plug on the A8717735 wear out from daily switching between the SC920D and SC940D?

The mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm male connectors are rated for standard insertion cycles; replace the cable if the plug feels loose or audio cuts out during use.

What limits the length of a dual DisplayPort KVM run when the A8717735 is used with the SC940D?

The cable is manufactured at 6 ft; longer runs would require an active extender because the 20 pin DisplayPort male ends are passive copper.

How warm do the dual 20 pin DisplayPort connectors on the A8717735 get when the SC920D runs continuously?

Passive copper DisplayPort connectors generate negligible heat; the cable remains near ambient temperature even during all-day operation.
