PS/2 to AT Keyboard Adapter Cable Mini-DIN 6-Pin Female to DIN 5-Pin Male
This is a short PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter cable that converts a PS/2 Mini-DIN 6-pin female connector to a DIN 5-pin male (AT-style) connector. It allows a PS/2 keyboard to be connected to older motherboards and systems that use the larger 5-pin DIN AT keyboard port.

Applications
The AT keyboard interface was the standard on IBM PC/AT and compatible systems from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, using a large 5-pin DIN connector. When Intel and PC manufacturers transitioned to the smaller Mini-DIN 6-pin PS/2 connector in the early 1990s — popularized by IBM's PS/2 line — a large installed base of AT-style keyboards and motherboards remained in service. This adapter bridges the two generations, letting a PS/2 keyboard plug into an older AT-port motherboard. It is still used today for maintaining or servicing vintage IBM PC/AT-compatible systems, older industrial computers, and legacy equipment that retains the 5-pin DIN keyboard port.
This PS/2 to AT Keyboard Adapter Cable has been inspected and is in good used condition. The cable shows light yellowing of the beige jacket typical of age, and both connectors appear clean with no bent or missing pins. It was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
