Two-computer USB 3.0 sharing switch

This TRENDnet KVM switch lets two computers share up to four USB 3.0 peripherals such as printers, scanners, keyboards, mice and external drives. The aluminium enclosure resists fingerprints and aids heat dissipation. No external power supply is required. It is aimed at home offices, classrooms and meeting rooms where users alternate between two systems.

5 Gbps peak throughput with USB 2.0 fallback

The switch delivers up to 5 Gbps data transfer on USB 3.0 connections and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Switching is handled by a front push button with LED indication of the active computer. Audio and microphone signals are also routed through the same button. The supplied cables are 3.93 ft long, limiting placement distance between the switch and each computer.

Driver-free setup with push-button control

Installation is plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS; no drivers or software are needed. Connect the two included USB 3.0 A-to-A cables to the computers, attach peripherals to the four downstream ports, and use the button to toggle access. Buyers who need to share devices among more than two computers or who require longer cable runs will find this unit unsuitable.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2-computer / 4-port model or a different capacity?

This model connects two computers to four USB 3.0 peripherals; choose it when you need to share up to four devices between two systems.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean once the switch is in my setup?

The 5 Gbps is the USB 3.0 signalling rate; real-world throughput depends on the attached drives and host controllers, and the switch is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.

Which USB standard does the switch use and what does that cap in practice?

It uses USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) ports with the included 1.2 m cables, limiting each shared device to that bandwidth and cable length.
