Two-Computer USB 2.0 Sharing Switch

This IOGEAR 772116 switch lets two computers share one USB device such as a printer, scanner or external drive. A push button on the hub selects the active computer instantly. The bundle includes two 5-foot USB A-to-B cables so you can connect both systems right away. No external power supply or driver installation is required.

Manual Push-Button Port Selection

The single decisive specification is the manual button that toggles the USB connection between the two linked computers. Only the selected computer can communicate with the shared peripheral at any moment. The switch operates entirely from bus power and supports USB 1.1 and 2.0 speeds without additional software.

Home Offices and Small Workgroups

This suits users who need a simple, low-cost way to share one USB printer or scanner between two desktops or laptops. It is not for buyers who need simultaneous access from both computers, automatic switching, or support for HP printers which the manufacturer notes as incompatible. Builders requiring more than two ports should look at a different solution.

Questions about this item

How does the USB 2.0 speed affect printing or scanning in daily use?

The switch passes USB 2.0 signals, so the connected printer, scanner or drive runs at the speed the peripheral itself supports; the button simply routes the active computer to the device.

What does the manual push-button actually control?

The button selects which of the two connected computers has access to the single USB device plugged into the switch; only one computer is active at a time.

How much cable length is included for each computer connection?

Two 5‑foot USB A‑to‑B cables are supplied, giving each computer a 5‑foot reach to the sharing switch.
