Product Information

Select your USB-C-Switch in the left hand pane and you will see the StemTool window for USB-C-Switch come active. You should now have a BrainStem connection to your USB-C-Switch, indicated by the flashing BrainStem heartbeat LED. Featuring these robust functionalities and an unbeatable combination of USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer speed convenience, bus-powered design, and user-friendly port switching methods including hotkeys, mouse and remote port selector etc., the CS1953 allows users to keep up with the latest innovations in desktop multimedia and work smarter than ever. The screen occasionally turned green during use, which could have inspired more confidence in the product's reliability. Also, the USB ports are only 2.0 instead of 3.0 could have been better. Since the hub requires power, the power output to the device will not be as high as the power provided to the input. The hub seems to step down to the next available option which is compatible with the power supply AND the hub AND the device. I've seen a 60W supply (20V 3A) step down to providing what is I think 20V 2.25A to the device but I've also seen a 45W supply only provide 10W to the device because, I guess, all of the intermediate options are not compatible with all of the power supply, hub and device so there can sometimes be what at first seems like strange behaviour w.r.t. power provision but this is the hub doing the right thing so as not to overload any power supply.

The item(s) are returned within 30 days of cancellation. The 30 days start the day after you have notified us of the cancellation The device supports video resolutions of 4K@60Hz via the HDMI 2.0 port. You also get three USB-A 2.0 to connect peripheral devices. Additionally, the box also features four USB-C ports—two to connect computer inputs and two for the power source to enable Power Delivery. Acroname has included Keep Alive Charging – which allows devices on non-selected channels to receive some small charging power from USB-C-Switch. Multiple USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectivity for any type of USB devices (Camera, speakerphone, touch monitor, USB-HID devices etc…)The 2 Port USB 3.2 Type C Switch supports USB Power Delivery PD 3.0, which allows charging via a connected USB Type C power supply. USB-C KVM Switches allow you to control & switch between multiple USB-C based computer and mobile phone or tablet sources from a single user station. USB-C consolidates Keyboard, Video, Mouse, Peripheral USB media, and Power delivery into one standardized connection. The device allows you to connect two computers using the USB-C interface. It does not require an external power source unless you need Power Delivery. And this has its pros and cons.

It took a bit of configuration to get everything working - initially I had been using DisplayPort from my desktop to the monitor but I had to switch to HDMI - but nothing major. Just re-routing some wires and changing where things are plugged in. Power for KAC is provided by the host PC through the Control Port on the USB-C-Switch. When KAC is enabled, you can see the Vbus levels on non-selected channels rise to +5V. The IOGEAR GUS4C2 is among the most compact switches on the market. Hence, it does not occupy much space at your desk or in your laptop bag. In fact, it is ideal for users who are constantly on the go. Our Take The design is bulkier than most other KVM switches. But this can be attributed to the added connectivity that TESmart offers. To switch between inputs, the device comes with a button on the front panel with three LED indicators. Alternately, you also get a wireless remote (without a button battery). Our Take

Given the Cloud synchronising nature of mobile devices (Phones, Chromebooks, etc.) the need for this type of functionality is limited. Yes and no. Technically you can use a USB-C KVM switch with your gaming monitor. But most gaming setups (GPUs and Gaming Monitors) are geared for a very high refresh rate. A USB-C KVM switch will deliver a 60Hz refresh rate at best; this can be a problem. Do I need to install device drivers for a KVM switch? So the good news. This KVM works as advertised. The "bad" news, there were some quirks - but I am still giving a 5 star review because those quirks could have been due to my computer or my specific peripherals. When KAC is enabled, there is only a VBUS/+5V connection and no data connection to the devices on the affected Mux channels. As such, USB policy states that with only a small amount of power may be drawn by devices where there is no data connection. This device is a super compact yet fully functional KVM switch. It offers all the essential features of a KVM switch and is perfect for users looking for a portable solution.

IOGEAR offers the GUS4C2 with three USB-A and one USB-C port on the rear panel. So, you can connect more than just a keyboard and mouse. Also, the additional USB-C port offers up to 10Gbps. Perfect for sharing flash drives between devices. The front panel gives you easy access to USB-C ports to connect your computers, the power source, and the remote. I can't make any claims to the power delivery, though I would expect it works fine. My laptop does not support charging over USB-C so I couldn't really test that.

Aegis offers this KVM switch with two USB-A ports. Of course, you have the two USB-C inputs to connect your computers and these ports are Thunderbolt 3 compatible. Aegis offers you a 100W Power Delivery to charge your laptop via the USB-C port. If the goods are incomplete or there is a shortfall you notify us within 3 days of receiving the goods More of an issue is that this system uses USB 3.2 Gen 1, previously called USB 3.0, and that has a bandwidth limitation of 5 Gbit/s. Secure corporate Ethernet interfaces ensure secure device control and configuration under the SSH, SSL, and HTTPS standards, whilst the device can also be securely connected to a closed network of room control devices such as wall panels or routed to the corporate system for additional control options, all via separate Ethernet layers.

The IOGEAR KVM switch has an advantage that no other KVM switch offers. This device from IOGEAR comes with “Beyond OS,” their cross-platform file-sharing software. Not only is this software unique, but it is also handy. So, hook up the KVM switch with a Mac and Windows PC and effortlessly transfer data with drag and drop. Individually enable/disable SuperSpeed and HiSpeed data, CC, SBU and power connections for any port Most KVM switches are compatible with leading operating systems. However, if you are using an older computer, you must ensure the KVM switch is compatible with your computer. Some KVM switches are incompatible with the macOS version before the macOS v.10. Similarly, Windows 10 seems to be the threshold below which you may face compatibility issues. Best USB-C KVM Switch – Frequently Asked Questions What is the best Video Output I can get with a USB-C KVM Switch? It is common to use battery powered devices on either side of the USB-C-Switch. When these devices are not in the active path, either on the common or mux side, the device battery may discharge. The USB-C-Switch has the unique feature of Keep-Alive Charging (KAC) for the mux channel connections. When KAC is enabled, the KAC circuit connects power from the control port VBUS to all non-selected mux channel VBUS lines. KAC power is applied only to inactive mux channels and is not applied to the actively selected mux channel since the actively selected channel has a power path to the common port. KAC is automatically disabled when mux split mode is enabled.A switching mechanism refers to the method you use to switch between inputs. All KVM switches offer a button to toggle between inputs. The better KVM devices come with a wired or wireless remote that allows you to select the source. This device from IOGEAR is also slightly different from other KVM Switches. Most KVM switches provide a dedicated video output port. The GUS4C2 allows you to use your device’s screen and connect only the input devices via the switch. So far it seems to work brilliantly, I was having issues before switching inputs on my monitor and struggling to get 60hz so this KVM fixes that problem.
