Tripp Lite PS/2 Keyboard or Mouse Extension Cable (Mini-DIN6 M/F) 25-ft.(P222-025)

Bottom line: The Tripp Lite PS/2 Keyboard or Mouse Extension Cable 25-ft. ($9.26 on Amazon as of 2026-10-06): 25 ft of reach lets a PS/2 keyboard sit across the room from a tower or KVM rack; main trade-off: PS/2 only - no USB, serial, or ADB device will work on it.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 25 ft of reach lets a PS/2 keyboard sit across the room from a tower or KVM rack
  • ✓ Foil shielding fights EMI/RFI pickup over the full 25-foot run
  • ✓ Mini-DIN6 male-to-female passthrough keeps the device's own connector free
  • ✓ Covered by Tripp Lite's lifetime defect warranty on materials and workmanship

Cons

  • ✗ PS/2 only - no USB, serial, or ADB device will work on it
  • ✗ Molded ends cannot be re-terminated or shortened to a custom length
  • ✗ 25 ft is overkill and hard to route for a desk-side keyboard
  • ✗ Passive extension, so signal loss can still show up on marginal motherboard ports
