Overview

The Tripp Lite P222-050 is a PS/2 keyboard or mouse extension cable designed to extend your device connection by 50 feet (15.24 meters) without compromising signal quality. It allows you to position your keyboard or mouse farther from the computer, which is especially useful for setups like standing desks, server rooms, or industrial environments where the system unit cannot be placed nearby.

Connectivity and compatibility

This extension cable works seamlessly with any device that uses a PS/2 connection, including older keyboards and mice commonly found in office, classroom, and industrial settings. The Mini-DIN6 connectors ensure a secure fit with standard PS/2 ports on computers, KVM switches, and other compatible equipment. Its long reach makes it ideal for setups where the input devices need to be positioned away from the main system unit.

Installation and setup

Setting up the Tripp Lite P222-050 is straightforward and requires no technical expertise. Simply plug the male Mini-DIN6 connector into your computer or KVM switch, then connect your existing PS/2 keyboard or mouse cable to the female end. The cable’s plug-and-play nature means it works immediately without the need for drivers or configuration, saving time and avoiding compatibility issues.

Ideal uses and environments

This extension cable is well suited to environments where device placement flexibility is important. It works well in home offices, classrooms, production floors, and server rooms where the keyboard or mouse must be located at a distance from the computer. Its durable construction and interference shielding make it a reliable choice for both everyday office use and more demanding industrial applications.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
