ATEN US424 4 x 4 USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN US424 4 x 4 USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch - 2 Years Local Warranty
Four Computers, Four Shared USB Devices
The ATEN US424 lets four computers share four USB 2.0 devices: a USB keyboard, mouse and up to two peripherals such as a printer, scanner, card reader or external drive.
Switch from the Desktop
A remote port selector on a 1.8 m cable sits on the desk so you can change computers without reaching behind the equipment, with LEDs showing which computer has focus.
Cables Attached, Nothing to Install
The four computer connections are attached USB Type-A cables (2 x 1.2 m and 2 x 1.8 m). The switch is hot-pluggable, has over-current protection and runs without a power adapter, with an optional mini USB power input for power-hungry devices.
Multiplatform
Works with Windows, Linux, Mac and Sun systems.
