Explus-C GUB231 2 Port USB 2.0 KVM Switch

Two-port USB 2.0 KVM switch for shared peripherals

This Explus-C GUB231 lets two computers share a single USB printer or multifunction device without unplugging cables. It suits home offices or small teams that need occasional access to one output device from separate workstations. The switch draws power from the USB connections so no external adapter is required. A lock function prevents accidental switching during active print jobs.

USB 2.0 bandwidth handles standard printing

Data moves at up to 480 Mbps, which is sufficient for typical document and photo workflows. Large bulk-scan batches or high-resolution image files may approach the practical limit of the interface. The device is backward compatible with USB 1.1 peripherals, though throughput will drop to the older standard. It is not designed for high-speed storage arrays or video-class bandwidth demands.

Push-button and software control with lockout option

A physical button on the unit gives immediate manual switching for scanners, external drives or other USB gear. Optional Windows software enables automatic switching when a print job is detected, though it requires administrator rights to install. LEDs show the active port at a glance. The switch-lock feature holds the current connection so another user cannot interrupt a running task.
