Refer to your KVM switch's user manual for specific instructions on switching between connected computers and managing KVM functions.

The cable is designed for plug-and-play functionality, meaning no additional drivers are required for its operation. The KVM switch will recognize the connected computer's video and USB peripherals automatically.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Tripp Lite P776-006 KVM USB Cable Kit, follow these guidelines:

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cable and connectors. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the cable's jacket or connectors.
Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable, which can stress the internal wires.
Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable. Avoid pulling on the cable itself, as this can damage the internal wiring or the connector.
Protection: Keep the cable away from heavy objects that could crush or crimp it. Ensure it is not placed in high-traffic areas where it could be tripped over or damaged.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your P776-006 KVM USB Cable Kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

No Video Signal:
- Ensure the HD15 (VGA) connector is securely plugged into both the computer's video output and the KVM switch's computer port.
- Verify that the monitor is powered on and correctly connected to the KVM switch's console port.
- Test with a different video cable if possible to rule out a cable fault.
Keyboard or Mouse Not Responding:
- Check that the USB A Male connector is firmly seated in an active USB port on your computer.
- Ensure the KVM switch's console USB ports are functioning correctly and your keyboard/mouse are connected to them.
- Try connecting the keyboard/mouse directly to the computer to confirm they are operational.
- Reboot the computer and KVM switch.
Intermittent Connectivity:
- Inspect the cable for any visible damage, kinks, or frayed areas.
- Ensure all connectors are fully inserted and secured.
- Minimize electromagnetic interference by keeping the cable away from power cords or other electronic devices.
KVM Switch Not Recognizing Computer:
- Confirm that the KVM switch is powered on and functioning.
- Ensure the computer is powered on and operating correctly.
