Applications
The Compaq 128958-001 was designed for Compaq's late-1980s to early-1990s business and server product lines, including the DeskPro, SLT, LTE portable, and SystemPro server. The SystemPro was one of Compaq's first dedicated server platforms and used rack-integrated peripherals like this keyboard for data center deployments. Today, these keyboards are sought by collectors and technicians maintaining vintage Compaq systems or building period-correct workstation setups. The 5-pin DIN PS/2 interface was standard across IBM-compatible PC hardware of this generation before the smaller Mini-DIN (PS/2) connector became universal in the mid-1990s. Replacement or repair of the cable would be needed to restore full functionality.
This Compaq 128958-001 PS/2 Rack Keyboard is in used condition with a notable defect: the coiled cable has a tear in the outer jacket with exposed inner wiring visible, as shown clearly in the photos. The keyboard body itself appears intact and shows normal age-related yellowing and light surface soiling typical of vintage equipment from this era. The 5-pin DIN connector pins appear present and undamaged. Buyers should be aware the cable damage may affect functionality and plan accordingly — replacement or repair of the cable may be needed.
