Two-port USB VGA KVM switch

The TRENDnet MT-VGA is a 2-port KVM switch that lets two computers share one VGA monitor, a USB keyboard and a USB mouse. It includes two built-in 1.2 m USB VGA cables and draws power from the USB connections so no external power supply is needed. A push-button on the unit selects the active computer.

Suited for dual-PC desks without extra power

This switch suits users who need to control two legacy or office systems from a single VGA console and prefer a cable-powered device. It does not support mechanical keyboards or mice, and it cannot be used with a docking station. Buyers who need audio switching over a 3.5 mm jack or who want hot-key switching should look elsewhere.

Maximum supported resolution 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz

The single specification that decides fit is the video ceiling of 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz with DDC support. If the connected monitor or source requires a higher resolution or refresh rate, this switch will not pass the signal correctly.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 1.2 m USB-VGA cables so the 1920 x 1440@60 Hz signal appears on the monitor?

Plug each cable's VGA-plus-USB pigtail into the computer's VGA and USB ports, then connect the VGA ends to the switch; the USB link powers the unit and carries keyboard, mouse and USB speaker data.

Which parts will need replacement if I use this switch daily for years?

The captive 1.2 m USB-VGA cables and the front push buttons are the only moving or flexing components; no internal fan, battery or user-serviceable module is present.

What is the first limitation I hit when running two PCs at 1920 x 1440@60 Hz continuously?

The single VGA console port and DDC2B handshake mean only one computer drives the monitor at a time; bandwidth does not increase by leaving both systems powered on.
