Four-Port USB 2.0 KVM Switch

The IOGEAR GUB431 lets four computers share a single USB 2.0 printer, scanner or external drive. It is aimed at home offices or small teams that need to eliminate cable swapping between Windows and Mac systems. The unit draws power from the host USB bus, so no external adapter is required.

Automatic Port Selection

A print job sent from any connected PC or Mac triggers an immediate switch to that computer without user intervention. Front-panel buttons also allow manual switching when a specific device must be selected. Green and orange LEDs show which port is online or locked at a glance.

Low-Power Continuous Operation

The switch consumes 2.5 W at 5 V DC while idle or actively routing data, staying well within standard USB bus-power limits. Because it requires no driver installation, it adds no software overhead during sustained multi-computer use.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 2.0 link still handle a multi-function printer at full speed?

Yes. The switch passes USB 2.0 signals directly, so print, scan and fax data move at the same rate as a direct cable connection.

Does the USB 2.0 interface limit what I can share besides a printer?

The bus-powered 2.0 connection works for printers, scanners and external hard drives, but bandwidth-heavy devices such as video capture or high-speed SSD arrays will run slower than on a native 3.0 port.

What does the switch need to sit on my desk and stay powered?

It draws 2.5 W from the host USB port, so no external adapter is required; just plug the four upstream cables and one downstream device cable into the unit.
