Two-PC HDMI KVM with USB 3.0

The TRENDnet 7235 lets you control two computers from a single 4K@60Hz monitor, keyboard and mouse. Three USB 3.0 ports share peripherals such as drives, printers or scanners between both systems. Switching is handled by a wired remote or front-panel buttons, with no hotkey option. The unit draws power from the connected computers and requires no external adapter.

Replaces manual cable swapping

Instead of unplugging HDMI and USB leads each time you change machines, this switch keeps everything connected and selects the active PC in seconds. The jump is worth it when you regularly move between a desktop and a laptop, or between work and personal rigs, and want a single monitor and USB set-up. It does not suit users who need hotkey switching, ultra-wide display support or more than two computer ports.

Limited to HDMI 4K@60Hz and USB 2.0 host links

Video tops out at 4K@60Hz, so higher refresh rates or 8K signals will not pass through. The computer connections use USB 2.0, which caps peripheral bandwidth below what USB 3.0 devices can deliver. Switching a 4K@60Hz screen typically blanks the display for five to seven seconds, while 1080p@60Hz takes roughly three to five seconds. No external power input means the switch cannot boost signal strength for long cable runs.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions of the TRENDnet 7235 to confirm it fits on my desk?

The unit measures 14.33in W x 12.83in H x 9.06in D, so verify your available surface area against those figures before purchase.

How do I connect two PCs and one monitor to the 7235, and what is the common wiring mistake?

Plug each PC's HDMI output and USB 2.0 cable into the corresponding computer ports, then connect the single monitor to the console HDMI port; the frequent error is swapping the HDMI and USB cables between the two computer ports, which breaks switching.

Which parts of the 7235 may need replacement after extended use?

The HDMI and USB 3.0 cables linking the PCs to the switch are the consumable items; the switch itself draws power from the USB 2.0 computer connections and has no internal battery or fan to service.
