SKU CH-8QWJ-Z8CQB

A 2-port cable KVM switch that lets one DisplayPort and USB console control a DisplayPort PC and a USB-C mobile device with 4K video support

  • Switch between DisplayPort PC and USB-C device with one button press
  • Share a single DisplayPort monitor, keyboard and mouse across two computers
  • Supports 4K DCI resolution for sharp visual detail on both sources
  • Connect a laptop directly via USB-C without needing a separate docking station
  • Compact cable KVM design saves desk space in hybrid work setups

Hybrid workspace switch

The ATEN CS52DP is a two-port KVM switch that combines a fixed DisplayPort cable for a desktop PC with a USB-C cable for a laptop or tablet. It lets a single DisplayPort monitor, keyboard and mouse control both systems, making it suited to hot-desking staff who move between a stationary workstation and a portable device. The compact cable design removes the need for a separate docking station on the USB-C side.

Console and cable check

Verify that your monitor accepts a DisplayPort signal and that your desktop PC provides a DisplayPort video output alongside standard USB ports for the console connection. The USB-C host must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode to deliver video over the same cable that carries USB data and power. Ensure the integrated cable lengths reach both computers from your chosen switch location without strain.

Steady switching operation

The hardware switching engine is passive, so sustained use adds no processing latency or frame buffering between the console and the active host. Thermal load stays negligible because the unit draws power only from the connected USB ports and has no active cooling to degrade over time. Button presses on the remote selector remain consistent whether switching once a day or dozens of times per hour.
