Dual DP 1.4 KVM for two systems

The Explus-C switch lets two computers share a pair of DisplayPort monitors and four USB peripherals. Each system must provide two DP outputs, with the matching DP A and DP B cables connected to the same machine. Switching between the two sources is handled by the included desktop controller.

Suits dual-monitor workstations.

Professionals who run two displays across two computers gain instant switching without unplugging cables. The unit also supports copy mode for mirroring the same image on both screens. Builders whose laptops or small-form-factor desktops only offer one DisplayPort output cannot drive both monitors through this switch.

Four USB 3.0 ports add 5 Gbps peripheral sharing

The hub provides four downstream USB 3.0 ports that operate at up to 5 Gbps, ten times the throughput of USB 2.0. They remain backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices such as keyboards, mice and printers. Video bandwidth reaches 48 Gbps, but DisplayPort cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

My computers each have only one DisplayPort output — can I still run two monitors through this KVM?

No, each computer must provide two DisplayPort outputs; the DP A and DP B ports on the KVM must both connect to the same computer for dual-monitor operation.

Will my older DisplayPort 1.2 monitors and USB 2.0 peripherals work with this switch?

Yes, the switch is backward compatible with DP 1.2 video and USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices such as keyboards, mice and printers.

After connecting everything, how can I confirm the switch is delivering 4K at 144 Hz?

Check your graphics control panel or monitor on-screen display; it should report 3840 x 2160 at 144 Hz when the DP 1.4 link is active.
