Advantages

This passive cable requires no external power and supports high-resolution video up to 4K@60Hz while carrying audio and USB signals for keyboard and mouse. Connectors are gold-plated with high retention for reliable mating, and the cable is TAA compliant for secure procurement environments. The black jacket and matching hook-and-loop identification straps keep installations neat and identifiable.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cable is passive and not appropriate where active signal amplification or very long-distance transmission beyond ~3 m is required. It is intended for setups that use HDMI for video and USB A/B for peripheral connections; it will not replace adapters needed for other connector types or for systems that require powered USB hubs.

How to use

Connect the HDMI plug to the HDMI port of the video source or display endpoint on the KVM switch and plug the USB A/B connectors to the corresponding USB ports for keyboard and mouse control. Insert the 3.5 mm audio plug where audio passthrough is required. Use the supplied hook-and-loop straps to secure and identify the cable at the port locations. No external power or configuration is needed for standard KVM operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep HDMI and USB connectors free from dust, and match the cable color/identification straps to your KVM port labeling to simplify maintenance in multi-port installations.
