Ugreen USB 3.0 Sharing Switch 2-In 4-Out

USB 3.0 Sharing Switch

The Ugreen USB 3.0 Switch shares up to four USB 3.0 peripherals between two host computers through a central selector box. Press the front-panel button to route keyboards, mice, printers, and storage devices to PC A or PC B without replugging cables. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed signaling supports 5 Gbps data rates on compatible devices when the active host port negotiates Gen 1 links. The 2-in, 4-out topology suits dual-workstation benches, secure/non-secure side-by-side setups, and KVM-adjacent workflows.

Upstream ports connect to each computer with included or standard USB Type-B or Type-A cables depending on host port layout. Downstream ports face the shared peripherals on the operator desk. Switching is manual and immediate, so the inactive host releases device ownership when you select the other input. No driver install is required on Windows, macOS, or Linux for standard HID and mass-storage class devices on most builds.

Metal or rigid plastic housing shields internal traces from desk-level EMI in crowded lab environments. LED indicators show which host currently owns the downstream bus. IT teams deploy this switch where two operators must share a label printer, USB scope, or license dongle without a full KVM matrix. The box sits inline on the desk, so cable lengths to peripherals stay short and USB voltage drop remains within spec.

Document switch position in lab notebooks when alternating between classified and unclassified PCs on one bench. Downstream ports support USB 3.0 storage for fast imaging workflows when only one host is active at a time. Avoid cascading additional unpowered hubs on all four ports simultaneously to preserve 5V budget. Reference UG-30768 in procurement catalogs for dual-engineer test stations and QA desks.
