Bi-directional USB-C video switching

The Tripp Lite U415-002-BDS is a 2x1 bi-directional USB-C switch that routes 8K 60 Hz video between two sources and one display, or one source and two displays. It also passes USB 3.2 Gen 2 data at up to 5 GB/s and delivers 100 W power delivery for charging connected devices. The unit handles HDCP-protected content without stripping the signal.

Ideal for dual-source or dual-display USB-C setups

This switch suits users who need to toggle a single monitor between two laptops, or send one laptop's signal to two different screens. It supports notebooks, tablets, smartphones and desktop systems with USB-C video output. It is not for installations that require more than two ports, or for sources and displays that lack USB-C alternate-mode video.

8K 60 Hz video with 100 W power delivery

The decisive specification is the 8K 60 Hz video bandwidth combined with 100 W USB power delivery over a single USB-C connection. If your workflow demands simultaneous dual-display output or data rates above 5 GB/s, this 2x1 switch will not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the switch so the 8K 60 Hz video signal and 100W power delivery both work, and what step is often missed?

Use the USB-C ports for both source devices and the display, then press the front button to select the active input; the step often missed is confirming the display is set to the correct USB-C input after switching.

Will the USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub ports or the switching mechanism need any periodic maintenance or replacement?

The switch has no moving parts or user-serviceable components; keep the USB-C connectors clean and the ventilation slots unobstructed for reliable long-term operation.

What is the first limit I will hit when running 8K 60 Hz video continuously through the switch?

The 1.25 GB/s video bandwidth ceiling is reached before the 5 GB/s USB data path, so sustained 8K 60 Hz streaming will saturate the video channel first.
