Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing PS/2 and USB interfaces,
the CS1708

intermediaries between the KVM switch and the connected computers.
A separate custom KVM cable is required for each computer connection. The
custom KVM cables are listed in the Cables section on page 3. Consult your
dealer to find out which custom KVM cables best fit your needs.
