Two-Port USB 2.0 Sharing Switch

This switch lets two computers share a single USB 2.0 peripheral such as a printer, scanner or external drive. It is aimed at home offices or small workspaces where desk space and cable clutter are limited. No external power supply or driver installation is needed for basic operation. The compact black housing measures 11 by 6.7 by 2.4 centimetres.

Replaces Manual Cable Swapping

The device removes the need to physically unplug and reconnect USB cables when moving a peripheral between two PCs. The jump is worthwhile whenever a printer, scanner or storage drive must be accessed from both machines regularly. It supports common USB 2.0 devices including mice, keyboards and mobile hard disks. Four-computer sharing is not supported by this two-port model.

Passive Operation Under Load

Because the switch draws power from the USB bus, it adds no extra heat or noise to the setup. Performance stays consistent during extended print jobs or large file transfers across the shared device. The mechanical button toggles the active port instantly without software latency. No active electronics mean there is no firmware to update or compatibility layer to maintain.

Questions about this item

How much desk space does the 11 x 6.7 x 2.4 cm black box need?

The switch measures 11 cm wide, 6.7 cm deep and 2.4 cm high, so it fits in a small footprint on any desk.

What is the correct way to connect two PCs and one printer to the switch?

Plug the printer into the single downstream port, then connect each PC to one of the two upstream ports; the button toggles which PC controls the printer.

Will the mechanical switching button wear out and need replacement?

The button is a simple mechanical toggle rated for thousands of cycles; no user-serviceable parts are inside, so the whole unit would be replaced if it ever fails.
