Three-computer USB-C KVM switch

This TRENDnet 201343 KVM switch lets three computers share one USB-C or Thunderbolt 4 monitor or docking station. It supports up to 8K at 30 Hz on Windows and 4K at 60 Hz on macOS, and delivers up to 140 W of Power Delivery. The unit includes the required USB4 20 Gbps cables for every computer connection.

Check your dock and cable type

Verify that your monitor or dock does not use a captive pigtail cable, because the switch will not work with that style. Use only the included USB4 cables; Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5 cables are not compatible and will cause connection problems. Confirm that your host computers have USB-C ports that support video output and Power Delivery.

Push-button switching and audio support

The desktop enclosure measures 14.33in W x 12.83in H x 9.06in D and provides front-panel push buttons for instant computer selection. Audio and microphone signals switch together with the video and USB data paths. No external power adapter is required, as the switch draws power from the connected computers and dock.

Questions about this item

What cables are included with the TRENDnet 201343 and do I need to buy any others?

The package includes USB4 20 Gbps cables for each of the three computer connections. The manufacturer warns not to use Thunderbolt 3/4/5 cables or USB-C couplers, and to avoid docks with built-in captive cables.

How do I decide between using this switch with a USB-C monitor versus a Thunderbolt 4 docking station?

The switch shares one USB-C or Thunderbolt 4 monitor or dock across three computers at up to 20 Gbps. With a Thunderbolt 3 dock it supports only one display at 4K 60 Hz. macOS allows only a single external display. Power Delivery up to 140 W depends on the dock or monitor design.

What does the 20 Gbps bandwidth mean for my 8K 30 Hz or 4K 60 Hz display in practice?

The 20 Gbps link can drive up to 8K at 30 Hz on Windows or 4K at 60 Hz on macOS. Because most Thunderbolt 4 docks run at 40 Gbps, the lower bandwidth may reduce display stability or limit resolution and refresh rate compared to a direct connection.
