StarTech R8AH202-KVM-SWITCH 2-Port HDMI 2.0 KVM with 4K 60Hz

Overview :

The StarTech R8AH202-KVM-SWITCH is a high-performance 2-port KVM designed for power users and engineers requiring seamless control over two HDMI-enabled workstations. It supports HDMI 2.0 specifications, enabling 4K resolution at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, ensuring crisp image quality for CAD, video editing, and technical monitoring. By consolidating two systems into a single console, it maximizes desk space while maintaining high-speed peripheral connectivity.

This switch features an integrated 2-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) hub, allowing shared high-speed access to external storage, webcams, or printers across both connected computers. It supports versatile switching methods, including front-panel push buttons and keyboard hotkeys, for rapid transitions between systems. The hardware-based switching ensures driver-free operation and OS independence, making it suitable for mixed environments involving Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The R8AH202-KVM-SWITCH is housed in a durable metal chassis for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in data centers or industrial labs. It includes independent audio switching, allowing users to maintain audio output from one computer while operating the other. This unit is intended for high-resolution desktop deployments and is not recommended for high-refresh-rate gaming beyond 60Hz or for use with non-standard ultra-wide resolutions that exceed HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.
