The switch includes two USB KVM cables, to providing a complete out-of-the-box KVM solution while saving you time and money. The USB KVM switch features an integrated 3 port USB hub, allowing you to share connected USB peripherals between the two controlled PC/Mac computers as though the devices were connected directly to the computers. Ensuring convenient placement and installation, the KVM switch features a compact form factor design and offers rear-port connection to master and slave computers, allowing you to make the necessary device connections without disrupting your workspace. A cross-platform solution, the KVM switch supports high resolution applications at up to 1920x1400 display resolutions, and provides a smooth operating experience when controlling Mac/PC combined work environments.
