Overview

Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the proliferation of external peripheral devices (keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras, removable drives, etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar fashion to conventional bus ports (i.e., serial, parallel, PS/2), but is much faster, and since it does not require any IRQs, more devices can be attached to the system, and the problem of IRQ conflict is eliminated.

The UC-100KM PS/2-to-USB Keyboard and Mouse interface converter provides the means for PS/2 type keyboards and mice to connect to a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld computing device that supports the USB specification via the USB bus instead of using conventional bus technology. An advantage of this for notebooks, for example, is that now an external mouse and keyboard can be connected up at the same time without causing conflict.

The UC-100KM comes with two standard 6 pin mini DIN female connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into, and has an attached 30 cm USB cable with a type A plug for connection to the PC’s USB port, or to a USB hub.

Note: Since most computers only have one or two USB ports,

USB hubs are often used to provide additional ports so that numerous USB peripheral devices can be connected up at the same time.

For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks, laptops, and handhelds - the UC-100KM Adapter derives its operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it is a USB Specification compliant device, the UC-100KM supports energy-saving suspend and resume operations.
