Adder CCSUN-10M – Sun 8-Pin to PS/2 KVM Cable, 10m

Product Overview

The Adder CCSUN-10M is a 10 meter KVM interface cable that connects a Sun workstation with an 8-pin mini-DIN keyboard/mouse port and VGA video to a PS/2-style KVM switch. This Sun to PS/2 KVM cable performs the protocol conversion in the cable itself, letting legacy Sun systems share a multi-platform KVM switch alongside PC hardware. Like Adder's other multi-platform interface cables, it works with any quality PS/2-style KVM switch and provides enhanced functionality with Adder MP Matrix and 108 MP series switches. The CCSUN range serves legacy Sun infrastructure and belongs to Adder's discontinued-era cable lineup, so it is stocked primarily for maintaining installed systems.

Product Description

Organizations in defense, telecom, and industrial sectors still operate Sun workstations whose 8-pin keyboard/mouse interface predates both USB and PS/2 standards. The CCSUN-10M lets those machines join a PS/2-style KVM switching installation: the Sun host connects through the cable's 8-pin connector and VGA video plug, while the switch end presents standard PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA connections.

Miniature keep-alive circuitry is molded into the cable, ensuring problem-free computer operation even if the KVM switch is powered off — important for Sun hosts that object to a vanishing console. The fully molded, color-coded connectors speed identification in mixed cable bundles and stand up to repeated handling during rack maintenance. An intelligent communications system enables the active circuitry within the cable to work in close partnership with Adder MP Matrix and 108 MP switches for enhanced functionality, and Adder's downloadable drivers support different keyboard layouts and future upgrades across its interface cable range. The 10 meter length is the longest in the CCSUN family, providing the reach to keep aging Sun hardware in a protected equipment room while the operator works from a consolidated KVM console. Because both the cable family and the Sun host platforms it serves are legacy, the CCSUN-10M is best treated as a sustainment part for existing installations. Current Adder KVM cabling, converters, and extenders are available in the Adder Technology collection at Creation Networks.
