2-Port DVI KVM Switch for Dual Systems

The IOGEAR GCS1102 is a new KVM switch that lets one DVI monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, microphone and stereo headphones control two separate computers. It includes a built-in two-port USB 2.0 hub so shared peripherals stay connected while you switch between machines.

Suited for dual-PC workstations lacking

This unit fits users who need to operate two DVI-equipped computers from a single desk without unplugging cables. It does not serve setups that require DisplayPort, HDMI or resolutions above 1920 x 1200, nor does it support more than two connected systems.

Maximum video resolution 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz

The switch passes single-link DVI signals up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz with DDC2B support, so the attached monitor must accept that resolution and refresh rate. If your displays need higher pixel counts or different video interfaces, this model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the GCS1102 or a different capacity for two DVI computers?

The GCS1102 is the two-port model that lets one DVI monitor, USB keyboard, mouse, speakers and microphone control two USB DVI computers and shares two USB 2.0 peripherals.

What does the 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz figure mean once the switch is in my rack?

It means each connected computer can drive a single-link DVI display at up to 1920 x 1200 pixels at 60 Hz through the switch without signal degradation.

Which video interface and standard does the GCS1102 use, and what does it cap in practice?

It uses DVI-I single-link with DDC2B, capping the video path at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz and 10.50 bandwidth while passing EDID data to both computers.
