2-Port HDMI 2.1 KVM Switch

The Jansicotek SW204N-HD lets two computers or laptops share a single monitor and four USB 3.0 peripherals. It supports video resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 144 Hz or 175 Hz. A wired desktop controller and front-panel buttons provide instant source switching. The unit is plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, Linux and Unix.

Desktop users needing one monitor for two systems

This switch suits home offices, creative workstations and gaming setups where a keyboard, mouse, printer and storage drive must move between two hosts without replugging. It does not serve installations that require more than two computer connections or buyers who need keyboard hotkey switching. Multi-monitor configurations and USB-C video inputs are also outside its design.

8K 60 Hz video over HDMI 2.1

The decisive specification is the HDMI 2.1 interface delivering 7680 by 4320 at 60 Hz with backward compatibility for 4K at 120 Hz, 144 Hz and 175 Hz. Both source devices, cables and the display must support the target resolution to achieve the stated performance. Four USB 3.0 ports run at 5 Gbps and remain compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices.

Questions about this item

What cables and accessories come with the SW204N-HD, and do I need to buy extra HDMI cables?

The box includes the KVM switch, a wired desktop controller, two USB 3.0 cables, a power adapter and a manual. HDMI cables for the computers and monitor are not included, so you will need to supply those separately.

The specs list 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, 4K@144Hz and 4K@175Hz — which one should I pick for my setup?

Choose the highest resolution and refresh rate that both your graphics cards and monitor support. For 8K@60Hz you need HDMI 2.1 sources, cables and a display rated for 7680×4320@60Hz; otherwise the switch will fall back to 4K@120Hz, 144Hz or 175Hz depending on what the connected devices negotiate.

What does the 8K@60Hz rating actually deliver when I connect two PCs and one monitor?

If every link in the chain — both PCs, both HDMI cables and the monitor — supports HDMI 2.1 and 7680×4320@60Hz, the switch passes that signal without compression. If any link is limited to HDMI 2.0 or lower, the maximum drops to 4K@120Hz or below, and the front LEDs simply show which port is active.
