Frequently Asked Questions
How does a single integrated cable eliminate cable clutter in our server room?
The 10-foot cable combines keyboard, video, and mouse signals over one CAT5 connection instead of three separate cables, dramatically reducing cable bundle volume and improving airflow in tight server racks.
Which Avocent KVM switches is this cable compatible with?
The USBIAC2-10 is designed for Avocent KVM switches that support Keep Alive functionality. Contact Procure.ae to confirm compatibility with your specific KVM model and switching architecture.
Can we use USB peripherals and smart card devices with this cable?
Yes, the cable supports USB 2.0 virtual media and smart card/CAC (Common Access Card) devices, making it suitable for secure server administration and credential-based access control in government or military IT environments.
How does the 10-foot length work for our rack layout?
Ten feet provides sufficient reach to connect KVM switches to remotely located console servers or monitoring stations, ideal for larger server rooms with centralized management areas.
What makes CAT5 cabling better than traditional multi-strand cables?
CAT5 structured cabling reduces interference, improves signal quality over longer distances, and integrates cleanly with standard network infrastructure already in place in most data centres.

Run the cable through existing cable trays or ducts alongside network cabling, and use adhesive-backed clips to secure it to rack rails. Proper cable management prevents accidental disconnection and simplifies troubleshooting.
