The Compaq 285001-002 is a 6-foot KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) cable terminated with Cat5 connectors, designed for legacy Compaq server environments and compatible KVM switches. Part number 285001-002 supports standard analog video and peripheral input/output over a single Cat5-based connection, reducing cable clutter in dense server racks. This cable is suitable for connecting CPUs, monitors, and input devices through Compaq's proprietary or compatible KVM systems commonly found in enterprise data centers built during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The 6-foot length accommodates typical rack-to-console distances without excessive slack or tension. Primarily used in legacy infrastructure maintenance, hardware refresh projects, and labs requiring Compaq KVM compatibility.
Tested and guaranteed compatible with Compaq KVM switching systems. Available via quote from G5 Network Group.
