Perfect setup for anyone who relies on accessing multiple desktops and a USB-C laptop or any USB-C device for work. Easily share two USB peripherals across multiple devices. Includes all necessary cables to get connected and maximizing your workstation.
IOGEAR's 3-Port 4K USB-C and DisplayPort KVMP switch delivers clear image resolutions up to Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160). This switch supports high-resolution graphics that are increasingly necessary in many industries: graphic design, animation studios, healthcare imaging, engineering, finance, government and more.
Adding more than one monitor to your perfect setup is easy with a GCS1953 KVMP switch. It supports Multi Stream Transport (MST) which enables you to expand to two DisplayPort monitors. Email and chat on one screen while working on another. Compare and contrast between two images or documents quickly and intuitively.
Switch and access up to 2 DisplayPort computers and 1 USB-C device from the push-button panel, hotkey combinations on your keyboard or utilize the latest in mouse port-switching functionality to change devices by simply clicking the wheel button on your 3-button USB mouse.
KVMPs are the answer to desk clutter. You can switch from each device from the easy-to-use front panel push buttons, hotkeys, mouse and a 6ft long remote port selector. Your equipment's cords stay in the background, out of the way. Set up your KVMP switch once and quickly connect/disconnect laptops, tablets and phones. Additionally, its fast power-delivery system means there is no need to use the laptop's power cable, you can leave it in your bag.
This TAA-Compliant streamlined solution saves money on desk space as well as additional computer accessories--you only need one keyboard, mouse and monitors. It is perfectly suited for newer laptop (USB-C) and older desktop combinations without the need for an external docking station - so you don't need new equipment.
