Technical details
This advanced KVM Switch has been designed for use with PCs and Macs. It features DVI single link video ports and a two port USB 2.0 hub for connecting and sharing your peripherals. With full audio support you can also connect your speakers and microphone.
This complete bundle represents excellent value for money as all the required connection cables are included.
Unique Switching Options
With its stylish all metal design, the KVM Switch Pro USB 2.0 is ideal for home or office use. The built-in 2 port USB 2.0 hub allows you to save money on additional devices by sharing your peripherals between the connected computers - the unique switching arrangement allows the USB hub to be switched independently of the computers. So, for example, you can print reports for work from one PC while playing games on the other!
Similarly, independent audio switching is also supported - you can listen to music on one computer while surfing the web on the other!

DVI-I single link ports can be used with PCs and Macs. Digital video resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200 can be achieved.
For maximum versatility, the switch can also be used with analogue VGA computers using relevant adapter cables. See below for more information.

Connecting a VGA equipped PC
To connect a VGA PC, use our VGA TO DVI Adapter Cable (Part No. 41223), a DVI-I cable and our DVI & VGA Monitor Splitter Cable (Part No. 41219). Connect the adapter cable to your PC's VGA port and then to the supplied KVM+Audio cable; connect the DVI-I cable from switch's console port to splitter cable. Plug the splitter cable into the VGA and DVI inputs on your TFT display.
When connecting mixed VGA and DVI enabled PC's to the KVM Switch Pro, we recommend you use a TFT display that supports auto switching between digital and analogue inputs. If your display does not support this function, you will have to manually select the required input each time you switch between DVI and VGA computers.
