4-Port USB 3.0 Sharing Switch

This USB 3.0 switch connects four peripheral devices to two computers. It suits home users and small offices that want to share a printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse or flash drive without swapping cables. The unit is bus powered and includes two USB male cables for immediate connection. No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems.

USB 3.0 bandwidth and power limits

The switch operates at USB 3.0 speeds up to 10 Gbps, so high-bandwidth devices share the same upstream link. Bus power alone may not sustain multiple power-hungry peripherals such as portable hard drives. A separate micro USB port accepts an optional 5 V adapter to stabilise operation with those devices.

Four shared ports for two systems

Four USB 3.0 ports provide enough connections for a typical keyboard, mouse, printer and storage device simultaneously. The single-button toggle moves all four ports between the two attached computers at once. Users needing independent port switching or more than two host computers will require a different solution.

Questions about this item

How many USB 3.0 devices can I connect to share between my two computers?

You can connect up to four USB 3.0 peripheral devices — such as a printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse or flash drive — and switch them between the two connected computers with a single button press.

What transfer speed will I see when I plug a USB 3.0 SSD into this switch?

The switch supports the USB 3.0 standard, so a connected SSD will operate at up to the 3.0 signalling rate; actual throughput depends on the drive, cable quality and the host controllers in your two computers.

Does the switch need its own power adapter to run four ports?

It is bus-powered and works without an adapter for typical low-power devices; a micro-USB port is provided for an optional 5 V supply if you attach higher-draw peripherals such as portable hard drives.
