StarTech C2-DD46-UA2-CBL-KVM – 2-Port USB-C KVM with Power Delivery

Overview :

The StarTech C2-DD46-UA2-CBL-KVM is a compact, all-in-one KVM solution designed for users who need to switch between two USB-C enabled laptops or tablets while sharing a single workstation setup. It addresses the desktop clutter common in multi-device environments by integrating the host cables directly into the unit, providing a streamlined “plug-and-play” experience for home offices and mobile professionals.

This KVM switch supports a single HDMI 2.0 monitor at resolutions up to 4K 60Hz. It features high-speed USB 2.0 ports for keyboard and mouse, plus an integrated remote push-button for instant switching between hosts. A standout feature is its support for USB Power Delivery (PD) pass-through; when a laptop’s USB-C power adapter is connected to the KVM’s dedicated PD port, it can charge the active host device with up to 100W of power, eliminating the need for separate chargers on the desk.

Optimized for users transitioning between a work laptop and a personal MacBook, iPad, or Windows ultrabook, the C2-DD46-UA2-CBL-KVM is bus-powered and requires no external drivers. It is not recommended for desktop PCs that lack USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode, nor for high-performance gaming peripherals that may require the higher polling rates of USB 3.0 or higher ports.
