Triple-monitor KVM for two computers

This Explus-C KVM switch lets two PCs or laptops share three displays and a single keyboard, mouse, headset and microphone. Each system must provide two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI output to drive the trio of screens. The layout removes duplicate input devices and tidies the desk.

HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 with USB 3.0 hub

The unit complies with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, so it passes 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz when cables and monitors support those modes. Four USB 3.0 ports run at 5 Gbps for peripherals such as printers, scanners and flash drives, and they remain compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. A 12 V power adapter is included.

No adapter cables and fixed port requirements

The switch does not work with DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters, so native connections are mandatory. Backward compatibility covers 4K at 60 Hz, 2K at 144 Hz and 1080p, but the host computers must still present the required two DisplayPort and one HDMI ports. Buyers whose laptops lack that video-output mix cannot use the three-monitor mode.

Questions about this item

What do the HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 interfaces cap at for this KVM?

They support 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, and are backward compatible with 4K@60Hz, 2K@144Hz and 1080P.

What ports must each computer have to drive the three monitors?

Each computer needs two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI output, connected with two DP cables and one HDMI cable.

How is the switch set up and what step do people often miss?

Connect both PCs using the required video cables and the included 12V adapter, then attach shared USB devices to the four USB 3.0 ports; the step often missed is verifying that every cable and monitor actually supports the target resolution.
