Overview
- The Simplecom CM202 is a bi-directional DisplayPort switch designed to simplify video switching in modern workplaces. It allows users to toggle between two DisplayPort sources (such as laptops and desktops) connected to a single monitor, or to switch a single source between two displays—all with a simple button press. This eliminates the need to physically swap cables and enables faster workspace transitions.
Built to DisplayPort 1.4 specifications, the CM202 delivers up to 32Gbps bandwidth and supports video resolutions up to 8K@30Hz, 4K@120Hz, and 2K@144Hz, making it suitable for high-resolution and bandwidth-intensive professional applications. The compact, durable aluminium casing ensures portability and efficient heat management.
With Plug and Play installation and USB-C power input, the CM202 integrates seamlessly into existing setups. It's backwards compatible with earlier DisplayPort versions, ensuring broad device compatibility across enterprise and professional environments.

Yes. The CM202 is backwards compatible with earlier DisplayPort versions, so it will work with older DP-equipped devices.
What is the maximum cable length I can use with the CM202?
The maximum combined cable distance (input and output) is 3 metres for stable operation. Plan your cable routing accordingly.
Can the CM202 handle 4K video at high refresh rates?
