  2. LED Indicators: The LED indicators on the top of the switch will illuminate to show which computer (PC 1 or PC 2) is currently active and has control of the connected USB devices.
  3. Data Transfer: When a computer is selected, all connected USB devices will function as if directly connected to that computer. Data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps are supported for USB 3.0 devices.

Note: This is a manual switch and does not support automatic switching. The USB ports are primarily for data transfer and are not recommended for charging devices.

Maintenance

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible Solution
Devices not recognized or intermittent connection.
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and providing power to the switch.
  • Verify all USB cables are properly connected to both the switch and the computers/devices.
  • Try connecting the problematic device directly to the computer to rule out device issues.
  • Restart the computers.
High-power devices (e.g., external hard drives) not working.
  • Confirm the DC 12V/2A power adapter is connected and functioning. High-power devices require external power for stable operation.
  • Ensure the power adapter is the original UGREEN adapter or a compatible one with the correct voltage and amperage.
Switching button unresponsive.
  • Check if the switch is powered on (LED indicators should be active).
  • If using the desktop controller, ensure it is securely plugged into the "Control" port.
  • Try pressing the button on the main unit directly.
Slow data transfer speeds.
  • Ensure both the host computer's USB port and the connected peripheral support USB 3.0 (5Gbps).
  • Use high-quality USB 3.0 cables.
  • Avoid connecting too many high-bandwidth devices simultaneously if experiencing issues.
