What this switch does

The Mellanox LCTS502G is an HDMI 2.1 switch that routes two source devices to a single display. It supports 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz with a 48 Gbps bandwidth ceiling. The unit is built for gamers and home-cinema users who want to toggle between consoles, streamers or a PC without swapping cables.

The deciding specification

This model is a 2-in-1 switcher, not a splitter, so it shows only one source at a time on the connected screen. It handles VRR, HDR10, Dolby Vision and HDCP 2.3, but it cannot mirror the same signal to two displays simultaneously. Buyers who need simultaneous output on two monitors should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power

The aluminium-alloy enclosure passively dissipates the heat from the 12-volt, USB-C powered board. No fan is fitted, so operation is silent. Typical draw is low enough that the supplied USB-C cable can power the switch from a TV or monitor port. The compact 0.39 by 0.25 by 0.18 inch footprint adds negligible warmth to a media cabinet.

Questions about this item

What does the 48 Gbps bandwidth actually deliver when the switch is connected?

The 48 Gbps bandwidth supports 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz and 1080p at 240 Hz with VRR, HDR formats and Dolby Vision.

How does the HDMI 2.1 interface limit the signal in practice?

HDMI 2.1 caps the link at 48 Gbps, so 8K 60 Hz 4:4:4 or 4K 120 Hz 4:4:4 are the highest uncompressed formats possible.

What space and mounting does the 90-degree grey case need?

The aluminium case measures 0.39 by 0.25 by 0.18 inches and weighs 0.12 kg, fitting behind a TV or on a desk with no brackets required.
