ATEN US224 2 x 4 USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN US224 2 x 4 USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch - 2 Years Local Warranty
Keyboard, Mouse and Two Peripherals for Two PCs
The US224 lets two computers share four USB 2.0 devices – typically a keyboard and mouse plus a printer and scanner – so one set of peripherals serves both machines.
All-in-One, No Loose Cables
The two 1.2 m computer cables are built in, so there are no separate cables to buy or lose, and the desk stays tidy.
Remote Port Selector
Switch computers with the external remote port selector on its 1.8 m lead; green LEDs show which computer has focus.
Non-Powered with Optional Power
The US224 runs without a power adapter for most setups, with a USB mini-B input for an optional USB power adapter. Overcurrent protection and hot-plugging are built in.
