Product Information

While today’s technology offers so many cool possibilities, sometimes all the extra wiring and cabling that comes with it can turn into a big tangled mess. With the IOGEAR 2-Port Compact USB VGA External KVM switch, users can share USB devices with multiple computers without a big mess of wires or the need for extra sets of keyboards and mice that end up cluttering up the desk. This IOGEAR (GCS42UW6) KVM switch was designed to support multiple operating systems, including Windows and Mac, making it very easy to use. Switching between computers or devices has never been easier. All you have to do is flick the simple manual switch located on the top of the KVM unit. Even better, you don’t have to purchase any extra accessories like additional cables, adapters, power supplies, or software for the switch. This hassle-free device works well both at home and in the office to organize all your computer equipment better. Other features for this 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM with built-in cable design include an external form factor, a KVM switch networking type, and wired connectivity technology. Connector Interface specifications include 2 x Hi-Speed USB-4pin USB Type A, 2 x display/video-VGA=15pin HD D-Sub (HD-15).

The dimensions for this IOGEAR device are 7 inches by 3 inches, and it weighs about 1 pound. Another great benefit of this switch is that the VGA cables are included. If you are looking to share a VGA monitor, USB mouse, and USB keyboard between multiple computers, then you will love the IOGEAR 2-Port Compact USB VGA KVM device. You can’t beat how easy it is to use even when you are trying to accommodate multiple keyboards. Not only do you not have to buy any extra cabling but it also is simply plug-n-play, meaning no software is needed. Also, because it is powered through the USB bus, there is no need for a separate power supply. Even security is increased with this device with the ability to switch between Internet and intranet connection. Keep in mind, though, that additional drivers and support may be required and that this device may not be compatible with wireless mice.
