4-Port DisplayPort KVMP Switch

The ATEN CS1914 is a 4-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 DisplayPort KVM switch that lets one USB console control four computers. It supports video resolution up to 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz and includes a built-in two-port USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub for peripheral sharing. The unit also handles 2.1 surround sound audio through mini stereo jack connections.

Desktop users needing multi-system control

This switch suits professionals who operate multiple workstations from a single keyboard, mouse and monitor setup. It is not for buyers who need 4K output at 60Hz or higher refresh rates. It is also not for users who require more than four computer ports or who lack DisplayPort outputs on their source systems.

3840 x 2160 at 30Hz video limit

The maximum supported video resolution is 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz, which determines whether the switch matches your display requirements. If your workflow demands 4K at 60Hz or higher, this specification makes the CS1914 unsuitable. Verify your monitor and GPU capabilities against this ceiling before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much power does the CS1914 draw when it runs continuously?

The switch consumes 3.3 W from its 5.0 V DC adapter and is rated for 0 to 50 °C operating temperature.

Which cables and console devices must I already have to use the four DisplayPort ports and USB 3.1 Gen 1 hub?

Four DisplayPort cables, four USB 3.0 Type B cables and four audio cables are included; you add a DisplayPort monitor, two USB Type A peripherals and speakers or headphones.

Will the CS1914 pass 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz from an older DisplayPort 1.1 graphics card?

The unit supports up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz on each port, so a legacy source at that resolution and refresh rate will work through the switch.
