The package also includes an additional USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-B to Type-C cable, allowing connection to USB-C computers for hybrid and flexible use. It's the most cost-effective solution for USB-C laptops and tablets. Key features include allowing 2 computers to share 4 USB 3.1 Gen1 devices, simple port selection via a remote port selector, USB 3.1 Gen1 compliance with up to 5Gbps data transfer rates, LED indicators for active computers, over-current protection, a micro USB power jack for extra power, bus-powered operation without an external power supply, plug-and-play functionality without drivers or an external power adapter, and multiplatform support for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Technical specifications cover computer connections, port selection, connectors, cable lengths, LEDs, environmental conditions, physical properties, and more.
Using the ATEN US3324 is a breeze. First, connect the two computers to the 2 x USB Type B Female (Blue) ports on the switch. Then, connect your four USB devices to the 4 x USB Type A Female (Blue) ports. You can use the included USB 3.1 Gen 1 B to A cables (1.2m x 2) and the USB 3.1 Gen 1 B to C cable (1.8m x 1) for the connections. Use the remote port selector (1.8 m) to easily switch between the two computers. The LEDs will show you which computer is currently active. When it comes to power, the device is bus-powered, so no external power supply is needed. But if you want, you can use the micro USB power jack for additional power. For normal use, make sure the operating temperature is between 0 - 40°C and the humidity is 0 - 80% RH, non-condensing. Store it in a place where the temperature is between -20 - 60°C. Keep the device in a dry place to avoid damage. If there are any issues, check the connections first. Since it's plug-and-play, there's no need to install drivers. And it works well with Windows, Linux, and Mac, so you don't have to worry about compatibility.
