Technical details
This adapter allows mice, keyboards and CCD barcode scanners with a PS/2 port to be connected to the USB bus. These can be additional mice and keyboards connected to a second workstation which is only used sporadically, for instance in offices where there is a second workstation with monitor, mouse and keyboard for holding meetings with customers or colleagues.
Alternatively, use this adapter to connect a KVM switch with PS/2 PC connection to a PC with USB, e.g. a Mac - see the hotkey conversion table below.
For this reason, this adapter can connect most barcode and chip or magnetic card readers with a PS/2 interface to a PC.
