2x1 KVM Switch for Dual-Computer Control

The Monoprice 142643 lets you operate two computers from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. It is built for users who need to share a single 4K display and USB peripherals between a pair of workstations. The unit includes an IR remote and extender for convenient switching from a distance. It is not suited for setups requiring more than two host connections.

HDMI 2.0 Bandwidth and Colour Limits

The switch complies with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 standards, delivering up to 18Gbps bandwidth. This caps video output at 4K@60Hz with YCbCr 4:4:4 sampling. Deep Colour at 12-bits per channel and HDR are supported within that bandwidth envelope. Resolutions or refresh rates exceeding the 18Gbps ceiling cannot be passed through.

Metal Chassis with Rackmount Ears

A sturdy metal enclosure houses the switching logic and weighs 1.86 units. The package supplies rackmount ears and screws for 1U cabinet installation. Front-panel buttons sit alongside the IR sensor for manual or remote source selection. Two USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cables are included to link the switch to each computer.
