Four-Computer HDMI and DisplayPort Control

This KVM switch lets one USB keyboard, USB mouse and single HDMI display manage four computers that each use HDMI or DisplayPort outputs. It is suited to a home office or small-to-medium business desk where multiple systems share one monitor and peripherals. The box includes two DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters so DisplayPort sources connect directly to the HDMI console port.

Bundled Cables and Adapters Remove Extra Purchases

Four HDMI KVM cables carry video, USB and audio for every connected PC in a single run. Two DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters convert DisplayPort signals without separate converters. A firmware-upgrade cable and power adapter are also supplied, so the unit can be updated and powered from the mains without hunting for compatible parts.

Desktop Installation With Hotkey or Button Switching

The unit sits on the desk at 10.25 by 3.00 by 1.63 inches and weighs 1.98 lbs, powered by a 5.3 V 2.4 A adapter. Switch between computers using front-panel buttons or keyboard hotkeys; LED indicators show the active port and USB status. No driver install is required, but DisplayPort sources must use the included adapters to reach the HDMI console.

Questions about this item

How often should the included power adapter be checked or replaced?

The unit runs on a 5.3 V, 2.4 A external adapter; keep the supply clean and verify the cable and connector annually, replacing it if the plug shows wear or the output drifts.

What resolution ceiling will limit sustained multi-computer use?

Video output tops out at 1920 × 1200 (1080p), so any source set higher will be down-scaled and that becomes the practical limit during continuous operation.

How much heat does the switch produce when left on all day?

Operating temperature is rated 0 to 50 °C; the device draws 5.3 V at 2.4 A, so expect modest warmth but no active cooling is required within that range.
