Adder CCSUN – Sun to PS/2 KVM Interface Cable, 2m

Product Overview

The Adder CCSUN is a 2m KVM interface cable that connects legacy Sun computers with 8-pin keyboard/mouse ports to PS/2 style KVM switches, carrying VGA video alongside the converted peripheral signals. For data centers and labs that still maintain Sun workstations, this Sun-to-PS/2 KVM cable delivers multi-platform connectivity at low cost without modifying the host system. It is the vendor-specified Sun interface cable for Adder's PS/2 KVM ecosystem. Find current-generation hardware in the Adder Technology collection at Creation Networks.

Product Description

Organizations that operate legacy Sun systems — often supporting long-lived industrial, telecom, or scientific applications — still need a clean way to bring those machines under centralized KVM control. The CCSUN solves this by converting the Sun 8-pin keyboard/mouse interface for use with any PS/2 style KVM switch, while passing VGA video through on the same molded cable assembly. Miniature keep-alive circuitry is molded into the cable to ensure problem-free computer operation even if the KVM switch is powered off, so the Sun host never loses its keyboard connection mid-session. An intelligent communications system enables the active circuitry to work in close partnership with ADDER MP Matrix and ADDERView 108 MP switches for enhanced functionality, though the cable may be used with any quality PS/2 style switch. At 2m, it suits typical rack and desk-adjacent runs between host and switch. Note the legacy status of this ecosystem: the CCSUN and the MP-series switches it integrates with belong to a discontinued generation of Adder products, with the manufacturer recommending current ranges such as the ADDERView Matrix line for new projects. That makes the CCSUN primarily a maintenance and continuity part — the right purchase when keeping an existing Sun-based KVM installation in service is the objective. For mixed estates being migrated forward, it bridges the gap until legacy hosts are retired.

Key Features

• Legacy Sun Connectivity — Connects Sun computers with 8-pin keyboard/mouse interfaces to PS/2 style KVM switches.
• Keep-Alive Circuitry — Molded-in circuitry keeps the Sun host operating normally even when the KVM switch is powered off.
• Intelligent MP Switch Integration — Active circuitry works in close partnership with ADDER MP Matrix and 108 MP switches for enhanced functionality.
• Broad PS/2 Switch Compatibility — May be used with any quality PS/2 style KVM switch, not only Adder models.
• Fully Molded Construction — Single combined assembly carries video and converted peripheral signals for tidy, reliable cabling.
• Maintenance-Grade Part — The practical choice for keeping existing Sun-based KVM installations in service through their remaining lifecycle.
