ATEN US3311
2-Port 4K DisplayPort USB-C KVM Dock Switch with Power Pass-through
Seamless Switching Between Two USB-C Laptops
The ATEN US3311 is a KVM switch and multiport dock solution designed for efficient multitasking. It enables a plug-and-play single USB-C cable connection, allowing two laptops to share a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse set. This setup, combined with 4K@60Hz video output and 4-port USB 3.2 SuperSpeed connectivity, helps save desk space and boost user efficiency.
Superb 4-Port SuperSpeed Expansion
Equipped with four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, the US3311 facilitates data transfers at speeds up to 5Gb/s. This expansion allows users to connect and power multiple external devices, eliminating the need for an additional USB hub.
Unreal Switching Speed
Leveraging exclusive ATEN technology, the US3311 offers exceptionally fast switching speeds. Switching between two connected systems takes approximately three seconds. (Note: This result is based on ATEN testing; actual switching speed may vary depending on computer performance.)
Always Correct Resolutions and Display Configurations
ATEN's patented Video DynaSync™ technology ensures that correct resolutions and display configurations are maintained when switching between ports across all operating systems. This feature guarantees smooth desktop operation without display issues.
Visual comparison indicates that without Video DynaSync™, display settings can become incorrect and windows may shift. With Video DynaSync™, video output is consistently optimized.
Exceptional AV Performance and Power Delivery
The US3311 empowers desktop operations with enhanced visual clarity, supporting 4K DCI compliance. It delivers resolutions up to 3840x2160@60Hz and is compatible with 21:9 Ultrawide and 32:9 super Ultrawide monitors, making it ideal for graphics-intensive work.
Additionally, the USB-C KVM dock switch functions as a charging station, providing up to 100W Power Delivery (PD 3.0) to keep connected USB-C devices and peripherals powered.
