20Gbps USB C Switch for 2 Computers, 140W PD Charging | 8K@30Hz Windows, 4K@60Hz macOS, Shares USB C/Thunderbolt 4 Monitor or Dock, Not for Dock with an Attached Cable

I have a setup with 2 X 4k monitors and a 14 port dock with 2.5gbs wired internet via the doc. This splitter allows me to run two laptops through the one dock without ever unplugging anything. I just push1 button on the switch and network, monitors and all peripheral devices switch laptop. Push again and it switches back.Build is solid. Operation is flawless.

I had to change my review. Initially, it did refuse to start then after two days it stopped working.It turned up that the cable supplied are or became very directional.Yet, there is no indication of that on the cables themselves, the manula, the web page, the Amazon page, unless I missed it.The main thing is that now it works flawlessly!It is now connected to an old (but absolutely wonderful) Apple Cinema display ca. 2011 by two extra adapters (The Apple display crazily has a non remomovable mini DP only (told you that is an old display). At the other end is connected to a Macbook Pro M4, and the other system is an old MacBook Pro 2016 running WIndows 11 through Bootcamp (or sometimes booted to Monterey).It has been working now for two months, switching seamlessly for two months (of course now I marked the ends odf the cables!).My apologies to Cable Matters, and a plea to mark the seemingly directional cables so that they can be correctly connected and explain that in your instructions.I was tempted to give less than 5 stars, because of that, but it does exactly what I need, hence 5 stars.

Quite expensive but does what I need.I use it to connect either my laptop or my desktop to my monitor, my monitor has a hub with KB/mouse/webcam.This allows my laptop to charge from the monitor, display out from laptop to monitor and peripherals are available on the laptop.My desktop connected to the second input doesn't have USB-C display out or need powering by USBC so it just simply passes the peripherals connected to the monitor.It works pretty well, there have been a couple of times where it stopped switching or doing anything and I thought it was dead but after unplugging for a few minutes it came back to life.The remote works well for switching and doesn't appear to need line of sight, there's also a physical button on the unit to switch inputs.It's hard to put a time on how quickly it switches because the USB devices need to enumerate but it's pretty fast and the devices are available within a couple of seconds.My device came with a hard to remove sticker on the top which was a bit annoying if you care about the aesthetics, I had to use isopropyl to remove the sticker back paper and residue.

Works perfectly switching between a Mac Mini 4 and a Windows laptop to an Apple Studio Display. Removes need to switch off and change cables, and enables both to be used at same time. As mentioned in another review, it did not work with the Apple cable from the Studio display, but did work immediately when changed to supplied Cable Matters cable. Remote is useful as allows switch unit to be placed in position where access not easy to switch.

The switch works great, when it works. It will occasionally disconnect and reconnect with the included cable (so using as designed). I have a MacBook Pro M4/Windows gaming PC tower connected to a Apple Studio display. Everything works, until the switch starts dropping the connection randomly to the Mac. This seems to be resolved only if I remove all power from the switch and "restart" it (rebooting devices, changing cable etc makes no difference).So not reliable.

After having such a high hope in purchasing this. It was such a let down. It couldn’t switch properly with my docking station and monitors connected. I have returned it.Wouldn’t recommend it.

I have an Apple Studio Display with a 2018 Mac mini and a 2023 M2 Mac mini Pro.I run macOS Mojave on the 2018 Mac mini so that I can run legacy software.Apple say that the Studio Display requires macOS 12.3 (Monterey), but it works fine on Mojave unless you need to use it with the camera.Up till now I have been swapping the Studio Display lead from one computer to the other, which is a real pain.I bought a thunderbolt 5 switch at GREAT expense, but it didn’t work.Without any great confidence I bought the Cable Matters usb c switch. To my astonishment it worked flawlessly straight out of the box. I’m really over the moon, and it only cost a fraction of the price of the thunderbolt 5 switch. I couldn’t be more pleased. Definitely 5 star.

I have a Windows laptop and desktop. Both have USB-C, but only the laptop has USB-C that also carries video. As such I have to unplug both my screens every time I want to switch the dock over to the desktop, and plug them back in again to switch to the laptop. I also have to switch the cable from the dock into my desktop/laptop.Bought this on the premise that it would turn my existing Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C dock into a USB-C KVM, but it just isn't doing that. For a bog standard setup (I see a lot of reviews mentioning multiple Macs into a _single_ screen) this will probably work fine.Just a note: If your dock supplies your devices with power (i.e. if your dock charges your laptop when plugged into this) this won't work anymore. The device has a sticker on that states the USB-C connection into your laptop does not also charge it, so you'd have to have another PSU.Packaging is... fine. Cables seem of good quality. Device is quite light (not that that's a measure of quality or anything. I don't like the fact that you have cables (quite stiff cables tbh) plug into the front and the rear... it's hard to find a space on a desk where this would look neat (maybe if you mount it under the desk? the remote control for switching would certainly be helpful there).Will be returning it.

Excellent KVM. Le switch est rapide, mon ecran en usb-c supporte le 160Hz en rafraîchissement, télécommande pratique, bref, je ne peux que recommander.Parfait si vous avez 2 laptops en USB-C et un ecran en USB-C avec un hub USB derrière.

RESUMEN: Funciona perfecto, ideal si quieres cambiar rápido entre dos portátiles. Funciona con vídeo y carga.Tengo un monitor que conectaba con un cable USB para cagar y tener video a la vez en mi portátil personal.Quería poder intercambiar fácil entre mi portátil y el del trabajo sin tener que cambiar el cable.Ahora tengo ambos portátiles conectados al aparato, y éste conectado al monitor, con un click en el botón físico (o los botones del mando) me cambio rápidamente de uno a otro.Tarda alrededor de unos 5 segundos cambiar de uno a otro, nada dramático ni para bien ni para mal.Creo que solamente carga el portátil activo, pero no he hecho pruebas para corroborarlo.

It works well, but as stated in the manual, it limits the connected displays to either 2x 4k 30hz or one 4k 60hz.Since a mac is limited to one display per thunderbolt connection anyways, this is acceptable, and I really haven't seen a better alternative available anywhere.The only other alternatives for usb c switches max out at 10gbit and doesn't work with thunderbolt (for me)

The Cable Matters 20Gbps USB4 USB C Switch is the most reliable option I found after trying multiple USB-C switches.- Seamless switching between two MacBooks- Supports 4K monitor and multiple peripherals (keyboards, mouse, auth key)- Charging capability for the connected laptopCompact design (2 inches) for easy mounting- After a month of use, it has worked flawlessly every time they've switched between computers.

Great product - beware the telco is Ghz band not 3-400Mhz thus non servable by rf commanders in the commerce
