Two-System DisplayPort KVM

This StarTech.com switch lets you control two DisplayPort-equipped desktops or servers from a single 4K 60Hz monitor, USB keyboard, and mouse. A built-in USB 3.0 hub adds two 5Gbps ports for shared peripherals, and four dedicated USB HID ports handle keyboard and mouse switching without software on any operating system.

4K 60Hz video with EDID management

The DP 1.2 link supports 4K resolution at 60Hz and HDCP 1.4 for protected content. An EDID button cycles between Copy, Auto-Detect, and a 1080p default mode, giving you quick recovery when a display handshake fails. Video bandwidth is limited to the DisplayPort 1.2 specification, so higher refresh rates or resolutions are not supported.

TAA-compliant for regulated procurement

The unit meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it eligible for U.S. federal and other regulated purchasing programs. It ships new with no software installation required and works across hardware platforms. Buyers who need more than two DisplayPort sources or USB-C video input will need a different KVM model.

Questions about this item

Will this switch keep a stable 4K 60Hz signal when I connect my older DisplayPort 1.2 graphics card?

The switch uses DisplayPort 1.2 and supports 4K at 60 Hz, so a DP 1.2 source will pass the full resolution and refresh rate without downgrading.

How can I verify the EDID management is active after I press the front-panel button?

Press the EDID button to cycle through Copy, Auto-Detect and Default 1080p modes; the monitor will briefly blank and then show the selected resolution in its on-screen display.

Does the package include DisplayPort cables for both computers, or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains the KVM unit and a power adapter; DisplayPort cables and USB cables for the two host computers are not included and must be purchased separately.
