Two-system HDMI KVM

The SV231HU34K6 lets one keyboard, mouse and monitor control two computers with HDMI 2.0 outputs. It supports a single display at 3840 x 2160 resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate with HDR10 colour. EDID and HDCP 2.2 emulation keep the monitor synced during switching. Two USB 3.0 hub ports at 5 Gbps and four USB HID ports share peripherals. Stereo and 7.1-channel audio pass through HDMI or the 3.5 mm jack.

Desktop integration

Connect each computer with an HDMI cable and a USB link to the rear ports. The front-facing USB 3.0 port adds a convenient 5 Gbps connection for flash drives or cameras. An included universal AC adapter powers the unit from 100 to 240 V AC and delivers 12 V DC at 3 A. No software drivers are required; the switch works with any operating system that supports standard USB HID and HDMI inputs.

Thermals and power

The steel enclosure operates reliably between 0 °C and 40 °C in up to 80 % non-condensing humidity. Maximum power draw is 36 W from the supplied adapter. Passive cooling keeps the switch silent with no moving parts. Rubber feet prevent vibration on the desk. The compact 1.60" x 6.30" x 3.90" footprint fits easily beside a monitor.

Questions about this item

Does the 36 W power adapter limit how many USB peripherals I can run at once?

The included 12 V 3 A adapter delivers up to 36 W, which powers the KVM, the two USB 3.0 ports at 5 Gbps and the four USB HID ports without needing an extra supply.

How much heat does the steel chassis produce when the switch runs 24/7 at 4K 60 Hz?

The unit is rated for 0 °C to 40 °C ambient temperature and 36 W maximum draw; the steel housing acts as a passive heatsink, so no fan noise is generated during continuous operation.

Which cables must I already own to connect two computers to one 4K monitor?

You need two HDMI 2.0 cables (one per computer) and two USB cables to link each system to the KVM’s console ports; the monitor connects with a single HDMI cable.
