Two-port KVMP switch with USB 2.0 hub

The ATEN CS1732B lets a single keyboard, mouse and monitor control two computers while also sharing two USB 2.0 peripherals such as a printer or external drive. Audio switching includes 2.1 surround sound support for speakers and a microphone on each connected system. It is built for administrators or multi-system users who need local console access without extra cabling. Buyers who need more than two computer ports or digital video interfaces such as HDMI or DisplayPort will not find those connections here.

Thermal and power behaviour in normal use

The unit operates from an external 5 V DC 2.1 A supply and stays within an operating temperature range of 4 °C to 40 °C with humidity up to 80 % non-condensing. No internal fan is present, so the switch adds no audible noise to the workspace. Power draw remains modest and is fully handled by the included adapter without requiring a separate UPS or high-wattage source. Builders who need redundant power inputs or active cooling for a rack environment will not find those features on this model.

Bundled accessories and software impact

Front-panel push buttons and configurable hot-key sequences provide immediate port switching, while a 5-second AutoScan mode cycles through connected computers automatically. LED indicators show the selected port, on-line status and USB peripheral activity at a glance. The package includes the necessary cables for console and computer connections, so no extra purchases are required for basic operation. Users who expect a software-based management console or remote IP access will not find those capabilities in this hardware-only solution.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the console monitor to the CS1732B and which port do people plug into by mistake?

Plug the console monitor into the single HDB-15 female port on the console side; the two SPDB15 ports are for the computers, not the console.

What consumable or wearable part will need replacement first on the CS1732B?

The push-button switches and USB 2.0 hub ports see the most physical cycles; plan to replace the unit if button contacts wear out or hub ports loosen.

What thermal limit appears first when the CS1732B runs continuously at full load?

Operating temperature tops out at 40 °C; sustained loads in warmer rooms will hit that ceiling before any other component limit.
