Switch Allows for Two PCs to Share up to Four USB Peripheral Devices
Nearly all modern computer peripherals attach to your PC through a USB connection. However, not all computers have enough USB inputs to manage all of these devices, and even if they do, the locations of these inputs are often difficult to get to. With the 2-to-4 USB Share Switch and Data Transfer Station, you can make quick and convenient connections with up to four peripheral devices, and each of those devices can be connected to two computers. In the same fashion that you would add a power strip for additional outlets, simply connect the station to a computer (or two computers) with the included USB cable(s), add power by connecting the AC adapter and install the drivers with the included CD. Peripherals can be assigned to each computer manually or by using a unique advanced management is available through a Windows-based application that can limit or extend the sharing capabilities between multiple computers.
Connecting a flash drive, camera, card reader, keyboard, mouse, memory stick, or MP3 player is accessible and easy, and because this unit is powered, higher end peripherals like external hard drives, printers, scanners or fax machines can be connected as well. The hub has a hi-speed USB 2.0 rating offering data transfer speeds up to 16MB/second while being backward compatible with older USB 1.1 devices. Adding a compact and lightweight USB hub is an inexpensive and handy solution that will allow two computers, even laptops, quick access to the same files and peripheral devices.
