Overview
  • The Aten US221A is a compact 2-port USB 2.0 peripheral switch designed to streamline device sharing in multi-user office environments. It allows two computers to access a single USB peripheral—such as a printer, scanner, or external drive—without the need to manually swap cables or purchase duplicate equipment.

    The switch offers three flexible switching methods: automatic detection via the Auto Switch function, manual pushbutton control on the device itself, or software-based configuration for remote management. This flexibility makes it ideal for teams that need reliable, hands-free peripheral sharing.

    Support for both Windows and Mac systems, combined with multifunction printer compatibility, ensures seamless integration into mixed-platform offices. The hot-plug design allows peripherals to be connected or disconnected without powering down the switch, minimising workflow interruption.
