Two-computer USB 2.0 peripheral switch

The IOGEAR GUS402 is a USB 2.0 peripheral sharing switch that lets two computers access up to four USB devices. It suits home offices, small teams or test benches where a keyboard, mouse, printer and storage must move between machines without unplugging cables.

Button switching and hub expansion

A push button on the unit selects which computer controls the four downstream ports. The moulded cables connect directly to each host, so no extra host cables are required. If more than four peripherals are needed, standard USB hubs can be added to the device ports without changing the switching behaviour.

Sustained 480 Mbps sharing with protection

The switch is USB 2.0 compliant and maintains up to 480 Mbps data rates during continuous transfers between the active computer and attached peripherals. Over-current protection guards connected hardware during extended sessions, while hot-plug support allows devices to be added or removed without powering down the switch or the hosts.

Questions about this item

How many USB 2.0 peripherals can the GUS402 share between the two computers?

The GUS402 shares up to four USB 2.0 peripheral devices between two computers, and you can add USB hubs to support even more devices.

Does the switch need external power or does it draw power from the USB ports while running all day?

The unit uses a molded-in cable design that draws power from the connected computers, so no separate power adapter is required for continuous operation.

Which cables must I already have to connect the switch to both computers?

The switch includes two attached USB 2.0 male cables for the computer links; you only need to supply the USB cables for the peripherals you want to share.
