Overview
- The Simplecom KM420 eliminates the need for cable swapping when working across multiple computers. By combining HDMI video switching with a 4-port USB hub, it allows a single display, keyboard, mouse, and peripherals to serve two computers simultaneously.
Simplify your workspace by pressing one button to switch both video and USB input between your desktop and laptop, or between your PC and Mac. The KM420 supports high-resolution 4K video at 60Hz and maintains fast USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, making it suitable for professional workflows including file transfers, printing, and external drive access.
Built with a robust aluminium casing, the switch offers reliable performance with minimal setup. Its plug-and-play design and hot-swappable functionality mean you can connect and disconnect computers without powering down the switch, saving time and improving productivity in busy multi-computer environments.
