StarTech C2-H46-UC2-PD-KVM 2-Port USB-C KVM Switch Dual 4K 60Hz HDMI – 65W PD

Overview :

The StarTech C2-H46-UC2-PD-KVM is a high-performance, compact KVM switch designed for users who need to share peripherals between two USB-C or Thunderbolt enabled laptops. It is utilized by creative professionals, software engineers, and remote workers who maintain separate machines for work and personal use and require a streamlined way to toggle between them.

Technically, the switch supports dual-monitor output via two HDMI 2.0 ports, delivering resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz. It utilizes a single-cable connection for each laptop, which carries video, data, and power simultaneously. One of the most significant features is the integrated 65W Power Delivery (PD) pass-through, which ensures that the active laptop remains charged without needing its own power brick. The unit features an integrated 2-port USB 2.0 hub for sharing a keyboard and mouse, plus an additional 3.5mm audio jack for speakers or headsets.

Deployment is simplified with a space-saving design and a convenient remote push-button on a 5ft (1.5m) cable, allowing the KVM to be hidden behind monitors or under a desk while keeping the toggle switch within reach. It is OS-independent and “plug-and-play,” meaning no drivers are required for operation. This KVM is optimized for USB-C Alt Mode devices; users should ensure their laptop ports support video output and power delivery for full functionality.
