USB 3.0 KVM Switch for Two Computers
The IOGEAR GUS432CA1KIT shares four USB 3.0 peripherals between two host computers using a push-button selector. An included USB-A to USB-C adapter cable allows a USB-C equipped PC or Mac to connect as one of the hosts. Data transfers run at up to 5 Gbps per port. White LEDs show the active computer.
Check Your Host Ports and Cable Reach
Verify each computer provides a USB 3.0 Type B or USB-C port for the upstream link; the switch requires two such connections. The adapter cable converts one Type A output to USB-C for newer laptops. Ensure the combined cable lengths from both hosts to the switch fit your desk layout. The unit operates from 0°C to 40°C.
Desktop Peripheral Hub with Shared Access
Four Type A ports on the front accept keyboards, mice, drives or other USB 3.0 devices that both computers can use one at a time. The switch draws 1.43 W at 5 V from the host connection, so no external power brick is needed. Its 3.75 by 3.75 by 1.06 inch footprint suits a crowded desk. Buyers needing more than two hosts or more than four shared devices should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What cables and accessories come with the IOGEAR GUS432CA1KIT and do I need to buy any separately?
The box includes the 2x4 USB 3.0 peripheral sharing switch, a USB-C to USB-A adapter cable (G2LU3CAF10-SIL), a quick start guide and a warranty card. Two USB 3.0 Type B cables to connect your computers are not included and must be purchased separately.
Should I choose this model if I have two computers and four USB 3.0 peripherals to share?
Yes, this switch is built for exactly that layout: two upstream USB 3.0 Type B ports for the computers and four downstream USB 3.0 Type A ports for the peripherals, with an included USB-C adapter so a USB-C laptop can also be one of the two computers.
What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when the switch is connected to my PC and devices?
It means each shared USB 3.0 device can transfer data at up to 5 Gbps, the full USB 3.0 rate, provided the host computer, the cable and the peripheral all support USB 3.0; the switch itself does not reduce that maximum throughput.
