Two-computer KVM switch

The TRENDnet A301 lets two computers share one HDMI monitor and four USB 3.0 peripherals. Push-button switching with red and blue LEDs shows the active system at a glance. No driver installation is required on Windows, Mac OS, Linux or Chrome OS. The bundle includes two 1.2 m USB 3.0 cables and two 1.2 m HDMI cables.

Built-in cables and optional power

Integrated 1.2 m cables reduce desk clutter and eliminate repeated plugging and unplugging. Four USB-A 3.0 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps data transfer for printers, scanners, drives or input devices. A DC 5 V USB-C power jack can be used when high-draw devices such as external hard drives need extra current. Non-slip pads keep the unit stable on the desktop.

Check monitor resolution and cable reach

The HDMI output supports up to 4K at 60 Hz, with 4K at 30 Hz and 2560×1440 at 120 Hz also available. Verify that your monitor and both computers can drive the desired resolution over HDMI. The fixed 1.2 m cable length limits placement distance between the switch and each computer. Buyers needing longer runs or additional monitor outputs should consider other solutions.
