Description
Bidirectional HDMI Signal Router
The Ugreen CM217 routes two HDMI sources to one display or one source to two displays through a single button. It supports 4K at 60Hz, 2K at 144Hz and 1080p at 120Hz. The compact chassis measures 51.6 by 51 by 13.5mm and weighs 50g.
HDMI 2.0 carries 18Gbps across the link. HDR, 3D, CEC and HDCP pass through to the connected screen. The TS3DV642 and ENF202 chips handle switching without an external power supply. Nickel-plated ports resist wear across repeated insertions.
The top button toggles between inputs or outputs. An LED marks the active channel. Automatic switching engages when a source powers on or connects. Cable runs reach 1m at 4K60Hz with 30AWG wire, 12m at 4K30Hz with 26AWG wire and 20m at 1080p with 24AWG wire.

Why Choose CM217
The HDMI selector removes cable swaps between a console and a laptop on one monitor.
Bidirectional routing lets one source feed two screens for mirrored or extended setups.
The 4K HDMI switcher passes HDR metadata without altering colour grading.
Nickel-plated connectors survive daily plug cycles in shared workspaces.
The HDMI 2.0 switch requires no power outlet, which simplifies wall-mounted installations.

Received it well packaged. I’m not very technical but my son set it up in minutes and now I can switch between my work laptop and the family TV box easily. Happy with the purchase.
Kevin Mwangi (verified owner) –
I use this in the office to share one projector between two presentation laptops. The bidirectional feature is the real deal — we’ve also used it in reverse to send one source to two screens when training. No lag, no handshake issues with our Dell and HP machines. Good value for a small team.
Brian Ochieng (verified owner) –
This little box sorted out my desk setup nicely. I have my work laptop and personal PC feeding into one monitor, and switching is instant with the button. Build is solid metal, not the plastic stuff you find around. Running 4K@60Hz from both machines without any flicker.
Faith Wanjiru (verified owner) –
Delivery was quick, ordered on Monday and got it Wednesday in Nakuru. Works as advertised. Only reason I’m giving four stars is the HDMI cables are quite stiff but that’s minor.
Mercy Achieng (verified owner) –
Exactly what I needed for my home office. I switch between a work ThinkPad and my personal MacBook on one 27-inch monitor. No signal dropouts, and the 4K@60Hz is crisp. The metal housing keeps it cool even after hours of use. Solid buy.
Amina Hassan (verified owner) –
Small and neat, does the job.
Dennis Otieno (verified owner) –
The unit is compact and feels well made, but I had to return my first one because the button was sticky. The replacement has been flawless for three weeks now. Good customer service from the shop. I’d still recommend it — just check the button when it arrives.
Peter Kariuki (verified owner) –
Bought this to connect my PS5 and work laptop to the same monitor since my monitor only has one HDMI 2.0 port. The CM217 handles 4K@60Hz from the PS5 perfectly — no downscaling, and the switch is quick enough for gaming. The button has a nice click to it. Only thing is I wish it came with a longer USB power cable, but mine is plugged into the monitor’s USB port so it’s fine.
