StarTech P2CDD143-KVM-SWITCH 4 Port USB C & DisplayPort KVM
Overview
The StarTech P2CDD143-KVM-SWITCH is a high-performance hybrid KVM solution designed for power users and engineers managing a mix of modern USB-C laptops and traditional DisplayPort desktops. It allows a single user to control four different computers using one set of peripherals (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). This switch is particularly effective in data center consoles, software development environments, and creative workstations where rapid toggling between operating systems is critical.
Supporting resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, the switch ensures crisp visual fidelity for detailed technical tasks. It features two dedicated USB-C host ports and two DisplayPort + USB-B host ports, offering native connectivity for the latest MacBook Pro or Dell XPS laptops alongside standard workstations. The integrated 2-port USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) hub allows for high-speed data transfer between connected computers and shared external storage or high-resolution webcams.
Switching is executed via front-panel push buttons or keyboard hotkeys, providing a seamless transition between systems. The hardware is designed for reliability with a rugged metal housing and features independent audio switching, allowing users to maintain an audio stream from one computer while working on another. It is driver-less and OS-independent, ensuring immediate deployment across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
