Three-port KVM with USB-C and DisplayPort
The ATEN CS1953 lets one DisplayPort monitor, keyboard and mouse control two DisplayPort computers and a USB-C device. It is built for professionals who need to switch between multiple sources without changing cables.
Hybrid connectivity for desktop workflows
Two upstream ports accept DisplayPort 1.2 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 from desktop PCs while a third port takes USB-C from a laptop or tablet. A remote port selector and hot-key switching free the desk from extra button presses. Two downstream USB Type-A ports share peripherals such as flash drives or cameras across all connected systems.
4K DCI video and shared audio support
The switch passes 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz for high-resolution work and includes 3.5 mm audio jacks for speaker sharing. It operates from 0 to 50 °C and draws 5.78 W from the supplied 12 V adapter. Buyers who need more than three computer ports or require HDMI inputs will need a different solution.
