Description
APC Integrated Rack LCD/KVM USB Cable — 17ft / 5m (AP5823)
Full APC Specification: APC Integrated Rack LCD/KVM USB Cable-17ft (5m)
The AP5823 is the longest cable in APC's integrated KVM USB cable lineup at 17 feet (5m). It is appropriate for cross-row server placements, server rooms where the KVM console serves equipment in non-adjacent racks, or environments with cable management overhead that adds significant length to actual cable runs.
When 17ft Is Necessary
Most KVM deployments fit within the 6ft (AP5821) or 10ft (AP5822) cable lengths. The 17ft AP5823 becomes the right answer when:
- The KVM console serves servers in non-adjacent racks separated by at least one intermediate rack
- Cable management constraints (overhead trays, side-of-rack runs) add significant length to direct-line distance
- The server room layout places the console at one end of a row with servers across multiple racks
- Future-proofing for rack reconfigurations that might increase the console-to-server distance
Key Features
- 17ft (5m) Cable Length: Maximum APC integrated KVM cable length for long-distance or cross-row deployments.
- Integrated Video + USB: Single cable carries 15-pin VGA and USB 2.0 keyboard/mouse signaling.
- USB 2.0 Type A + SUB-D 15HD VGA: Standard connectors at the server end.
- APC KVM Switch Compatibility: Designed for AP5808 and AP5816 KVM consoles.

Questyme: Verify Length Requirements Before Ordering
The 17ft cable is the longest APC integrated KVM cable available — if your console-to-server distance exceeds 17 feet, an analog KVM may not be the right architecture and KVM-over-IP becomes the appropriate solution. Questyme can review your layout and confirm. Contact our team.
