Two-computer HDMI KVM

The TRENDnet KY-401 lets two computers share one HDMI monitor, keyboard and mouse. It also provides four USB 3.0 ports for peripherals such as printers or external drives. The switch works with Windows, Linux, Mac and game consoles. No software installation is required.

4K@60Hz video and 5Gbps USB

Video supports 4K at 60Hz, 4K at 30Hz, 2K, 3D and 1080p. USB 3.0 ports deliver up to 5Gbps data transfer for shared storage and input devices. EDID adaptive logic keeps the display detected when switching. The box includes two USB cables and a wired remote.

Passive cooling and push-button control

The metal enclosure dissipates heat without a fan, so operation stays silent. Power comes from the connected computers through the USB links, drawing only the current needed for the switch logic and port LEDs. Push buttons on the unit and the remote change the active computer instantly.

Questions about this item

Will the KY-401 work with my existing 1080p monitor alongside a new 4K display?

The switch supports 1080P, 2K, 3D, 4K@30Hz and 4K@60Hz resolutions, so it will handle your current 1080p monitor and a future 4K screen without issue.

How can I verify the 4K@60Hz signal is active after connecting everything?

Use the front push buttons to select the desired computer, then check your monitor's on-screen display to confirm it is receiving a 4K signal at 60Hz; the EDID adaptive function helps maintain the correct handshake.

The box mentions two USB cables and a controller — do I need to buy any HDMI cables separately?

The package includes two integrated USB cables and a wired remote controller; HDMI cables are not included, so you will need to provide your own 4K@60Hz compliant HDMI cables for each computer.
