StarTech.com P2CDD143-KVM-SWITCH: 2-Port Dual-Monitor 8K KVM Switch
Product ID: P2CDD143-KVM-SWITCH
Product Overview
The StarTech.com P2CDD143-KVM-SWITCH is a TAA-compliant, dual-monitor KVM switch designed to allow users to efficiently switch between two USB and DisplayPort-enabled desktop computers. It enables the sharing of dual 8K 60Hz DisplayPort monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, and two USB 10Gbps devices.
This KVM switch is ideal for demanding applications such as CAD/CAM, video editing, and content creation that require high-resolution graphics and video performance. It supports dual 8K 60Hz DisplayPort monitors and features two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) hub ports for rapid data transfer. Additionally, it includes four USB HID ports for connecting a keyboard, mouse, and two other USB peripherals.
Leveraging USB emulation technology, the switch provides faster keyboard, video, and mouse switching compared to traditional KVMs. This emulation also ensures broad compatibility with combo keyboards/mice and keyboards with extra function keys.
Users can switch between computers using convenient hotkeys or push-button controls. The hotkey functionality allows for independent switching of audio, enabling audio playback from one computer while controlling another. An audible buzzer confirms hotkey input, and integrated LEDs offer a clear visual status of the selected host.
The KVM switch is built with a durable steel housing, designed to prevent Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), thereby enhancing its stability and reliability. Its sturdy construction makes it suitable for installation in various environments, and it offers 8kV Air / 6kV Contact ESD protection.
The product is OS Independent, meaning it requires no drivers or software for operation.
Applications
- Share dual monitors, mouse, keyboard, and audio peripherals between two desktop computers.
- Ideal for applications such as CAD/CAM, video editing, and content creation.
Key Features
- DUAL 8K 60Hz WITH HDR: Control two USB and DisplayPort-enabled desktops from a shared keyboard, mouse, audio device, and dual 8K 60Hz, 4K 144Hz, or 4K 120Hz DP 1.4 monitors. Supports HDR (up to 10-bit YCbCr 4:4:4). Display Stream Compression (DSC) is required for maximum video performance.
- FAST & COMPATIBLE SWITCHING: USB Emulation enables fast switching of up to four USB HID devices between two desktops/workstations. USB Emulation ensures compatibility with combo keyboards/mice. Works with any operating system and all hardware platforms.
- 2X FASTER DATA TRANSFER: Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports enable faster transfer speeds than USB Gen 1 (5Gbps) KVMs. Ideal for transferring large files or editing high-resolution photos/videos on external storage. Includes 2x USB-C to USB-A 10Gbps cables.
- MULTIPLE SWITCHING OPTIONS: The Universal KVM Switch can be controlled via push-buttons or hotkeys, with an audible buzzer providing confirmation. LEDs provide quick visual port selection status. Allows listening to audio from one computer while controlling the other.
