Overview

The APC AP5257 is a 12-foot (3.6 m) USB KVM cable designed to link KVM switches and target servers or PCs, combining USB data lines with video and keyboard/mouse wiring. It enables you to control multiple systems through a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse setup without needing separate cabling for each. This cable is ideal in data centers, server racks, and lab environments where managing many machines from one console is common.Its USB interface carries keyboard/mouse signals, while the integrated video connections carry display data, making it compatible with many KVM switch units. The 12-foot length gives flexibility in rack layouts, allowing the switch and the server to be spaced vertically without strain or crowding. Built with copper conductors, it ensures signal integrity across its full length. APC rates this cable for 0.24 lb weight and compact form factor, useful in tight rack environments.It’s a no-frills, utility cable—nothing exotic, just reliable connectivity for KVM deployments. Use it whenever your console and target device are separated by around 3–4 meters and standard KVM cabling won’t reach.
