Active dual PS/2 to USB 2.0 converter

This active adapter cable translates PS/2 keyboard and mouse signals into standard USB 2.0 HID protocol using a built-in conversion chip. It allows modern computers without native PS/2 ports to connect both legacy peripherals simultaneously through a single USB socket. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation and works with Windows systems, industrial controllers and POS equipment. It is intended for technicians and enterprises maintaining older keyboards and mice in office or factory environments.

Plug-and-play operation with stable signal

The integrated active chip ensures reliable signal translation without the disconnection issues common to passive wiring adapters. No extra power supply or software is needed, so normal use adds negligible load to the host USB port. The sturdy black cable jacket resists daily bending while maintaining consistent data transmission. Input response remains smooth during typical office or industrial tasks.

Single cable replaces two separate adapters

The compact integrated design combines dual PS/2 female ports and a USB male plug into one unit, reducing desktop clutter compared to using individual converters. The package supplies only the adapter cable itself, with no additional software or mounting hardware included. Note that the adapter is not compatible with PlayStation game controllers and some BIOS implementations may not support hot-plugging the peripherals.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SMUGDESK Dual PS/2 to USB 2.0 Active Converter Adapter Cable, and what step is commonly missed?

Plug the USB 2.0 connector into the computer, then connect the PS/2 keyboard to the purple port and the PS/2 mouse to the green port; the step often missed is attaching both peripherals before or during boot so the active chip enumerates them correctly.

What maintenance or replacement will this adapter need over time?

The cable jacket and connectors are built for daily bending, so no scheduled maintenance is required; replace the unit only if the USB plug, PS/2 sockets, or internal conversion chip fail from physical damage.

What limit appears first when the adapter runs continuously in an industrial or POS environment?

The active chip draws power from the single USB 2.0 port, so sustained operation is limited by that port's current budget; if the keyboard and mouse together exceed the port's allowance, the adapter will drop inputs first.
