TRENDnet 8K KVM Switch for Two Computers

This TRENDnet 8K-Switch-1 lets two computers share one monitor and up to four USB 3.0 peripherals plus one USB-C device. It is built for users who need to move between a work and a personal system without swapping cables. The unit includes built-in cables and front-panel push buttons for instant switching. Condition is new.

Video Limits at 8K 60Hz and Lower Resolutions

The HDMI interface supports 8K at 60 Hz and drops back to 4K at 240 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz, 4K at 60 Hz, 2560x1440 at 60 Hz and 1080p. Bandwidth is capped by the HDMI link so higher refresh rates at 8K are not possible. Audio and microphone channels switch together with the video signal. The USB 3.0 ports top out at 5 Gbps for attached storage or peripherals.

Plug-and-Play Install with Optional USB-C Power

No driver is required on Windows XP through 11 or on Linux; the switch enumerates as a standard HID device. Push buttons on the chassis select the active computer. The optional USB-C DC 5 V input stabilises power for bus-powered hard drives or high-draw peripherals. A common issue is forgetting to connect that USB-C supply when using portable drives, which can cause intermittent disconnects.
