1.4 Display Port KVM Switch - Quad Monitor - Two Computer
Have you ever wanted a KVM switch that doesn’t suck, supports DisplayPort 1.4 (3840x2160@120hz / 8k @ 30hz ) and USB3?
Listen. No KVM is perfect BUT our customers tell us -- The Level1Techs KVMs are pretty darn good.
This KVM switch will let you FOUR monitors plus other USB peripherals like a keyboard and a mouse between up to two computers!
QUAD DISPLAY PORT 1.4? You betcha.
NOTE: If you're planning to use 4 displays with a laptop, make sure your laptop actually supports 4 displays!
If you need to take HDMI into this KVM we recommend A USB-powered HDMI to DP adapter. (DP to HDMI is not the same thing!). Also, bi-directional cables if you require an adapter may be required for best results.)
This KVM switch will work with USB 3.0 (USB 3 5gbps, or USB 3.2 gen 1) peripherals as well as USB 2.0 HID-type devices.
It has also been tested to work with high-end RGB gaming keyboards like keyboards from Corsair, Cougar and more.
It has been tested with keyboards that have built-in USB hubs as well as USB passthrough.
While we don’t recommend USB switching with mass storage devices (!!??), it is possible. It will also let you share peripherals like scanners and printers through USB (note: Maximum 1A power through USB connections).
Power Adapter: Now available with choice of UK, EU, and AU adapters.
Dimensions: 6.25” w x 4”d x 3.725”h (15.9 x 10.2 x 9.5 cm)
Warranty: One year free parts and labor service warranty.
Rack Mount Kit: Not compatible with our Level One rack mount kit.

New! USB type c 10gbps KVM Switches.
Now the KVMs have the option of a 10 gigabit USB interface. 10 gigabit!! The big changes under the hood mean that the 10 gigabit version of the KVM can better support both USB3 5 and 10gbps peripherals as well as better support for high-polling-rate USB hid devices. They do cost a but more than their 5gbps counterparts, however. We plan to restock both types as fast as possible.
Note: The 10gbps models substitute the "Type B" 5gbps input with a USB c 10gbps input. So it's easy to tell if you have a 5 gigabit or 10 gigabit.
Each input on all models of the KVM require both a full-size Displayport 1.4 connection and a USB connection. Both Type A to C or Type C to C cables are supported for the input ports on the KVMs.
Don't want 10 gigabit? No problem, opt for the 5 gigabit model instead. It's a bit cheaper.
USB 2.0 cables (4 conductor) in a type C format is Not Compatible.

DisplayStream Compression Supported
Intelligent EDID Engine for HDCP Rekeying (computers know when the port is inactive. Check out the Level1Techs repeater if you need monitor emulation).
HDCP Passthrough Supported (maintains HDCP signal integrity)
Intelligent USB HID passthrough (includes work-arounds for known problematic devices)
