InLine USB 2.0 Switch Manual USB-A Device to 4 Computers Wired

The InLine USB 2.0 Switch Manual USB-A Device to 4 Computers Wired lets a single USB-A device be shared between up to four computers. The switch uses a mechanical push-button selector and wired connections to provide a straightforward way to switch control of USB peripherals such as printers, scanners or external drives without unplugging cables. No external power supply is required.

Advantages

This manual USB 2.0 switch supports one USB-A peripheral for use with four computers, offering a simple mechanical switching mechanism that requires no drivers or software. Wired connections ensure stable data transmission for typical USB 2.0 devices, and the lack of external power simplifies installation and reduces desk clutter.
