Two-computer USB peripheral sharing

The Explus-C KVM switch lets two computers share a single printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse, curve plotter, USB flash drive or Bluetooth dongle. It works plug-and-play without driver installation. The unit switches the active computer either by a desktop remote button on a 1.5 metre cable or by a push-button on the switch itself. This removes the need to unplug and replug cables, protecting the USB ports on both the computers and the peripherals.

Check USB cable lengths and OS support

Each computer connects to the switch with a USB cable between 1 and 5 metres long. The shared peripherals connect with cables from 0.3 to 2 metres. If you plan to chain an external USB hub, its cable must also stay within the 5 metre input limit. The switch is compatible with DOS, Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, 7, 8, 10, Unix, Linux, Netware and Mac systems. Buyers who need to share devices across more than two computers cannot use this switch.

Stable signal switching under continuous use

A built-in signal switching chip maintains stable USB transmission during extended sessions. The design supports the full input and output cable ranges without signal degradation, so switching remains smooth even after hours of operation. The compact housing fits in one hand and occupies minimal desk space. Buyers who require certified industrial-grade MTBF figures or active cooling will not find those specifications here.

Questions about this item

What cables are included and do I need to buy anything else to connect two computers and a printer?

The package includes two USB printer cables each 1.5 metres long and a desktop controller with a 1.5 metre cable for remote switching. No extra cables are required to share a USB printer, scanner, keyboard or other USB device between two computers.

Which switching method should I choose — the desktop controller or the panel button?

Use the desktop controller when you want to switch from up to 1.5 metres away without reaching the unit; use the panel button for quick changes right at the switch. Both methods share the same USB connection to the two computers.

How far can I place my USB devices from the switch and still get a stable signal?

The switch supports USB input cables of 1 to 5 metres, a daisy-chained hub up to 5 metres, and output cables of 0.3 to 2 metres, so peripherals can sit up to 2 metres from the unit with reliable switching.
