Two-Computer Desk Setup

The Jansicotek SW204N-DP lets two computers or laptops share one DisplayPort monitor and four USB 3.0 peripherals. It supports video up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz or 175 Hz. Switching is instant via front buttons or the wired desktop controller. The unit is plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, Linux and Unix.

Passive Operation

The switch draws power from the included adapter and adds no active cooling, so it runs silently on the desk. USB 3.0 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps data rates while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. Video bandwidth reaches 48 Gbps through the DP 1.4 interface, which is also compatible with DP 1.2 and 1.1 sources.

Bundled Cabling Ready

The package supplies two USB 3.0 cables, a power adapter, the external controller and a user manual. Everything needed for a two-system workflow is in the box, so no extra cables are required for typical keyboard, mouse, printer or storage connections. Buyers who need to share a single monitor across three or more computers will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

How do I connect two computers to the SW204N-DP and what step is often missed?

Connect each computer to a DisplayPort input and a USB 3.0 cable, then attach the monitor to the single DisplayPort output and up to four USB 3.0 peripherals to the hub ports. The step often missed is plugging in the included power adapter before switching.

What part of the SW204N-DP will need replacement first?

The push-button panel and external wired controller are the only moving parts; under heavy daily switching they wear out before the internal DisplayPort 1.4 circuitry or the USB 3.0 hub.

At what point does the SW204N-DP hit its bandwidth limit during sustained 8K use?

The DisplayPort 1.4 link caps video bandwidth at 48 Gbps, so 8K at 60 Hz is the maximum sustained resolution; higher refresh rates such as 4K at 144 Hz or 175 Hz require chroma subsampling or DSC.
