2-Port USB-C KVM Switch

The StarTech SV231DPUCA lets you share one monitor and peripherals between two USB-C computers that support DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt. It is built for users who switch between a laptop and a desktop without unplugging cables.

Replaces dual-cable docking setups

Instead of swapping video and USB leads manually, this switch handles both signals over a single USB-C connection per system. The jump is worth it when you need 4K 60 Hz output and want a tidy desk with one keyboard, mouse and display serving both machines.

Plug-and-play installation

Connect each computer with a USB-C cable that carries video and data, then attach your monitor and peripherals to the switch. Front-panel buttons change the active system instantly. The main issue arises if a host port lacks DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt support, which prevents video from passing through.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions of the StarTech SV231DPUCA unit?

The switch measures 9.600 by 7.360 by 3.680 and weighs 2.4300, so allow that footprint on your desk or rack shelf.

How do I connect two computers and what is the common mistake?

Plug each computer into a USB-C port that supports DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt, then attach one DisplayPort monitor; the error is using a USB-C port that only carries data.

What ongoing maintenance does the SV231DPUCA require?

No scheduled maintenance is needed; keep vents clear, check cable connections occasionally, and replace cables only if they become damaged.
