Overview
The U215-002 2-Port USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Printer/Peripheral Sharing Switch saves you money, time and precious workspace by letting you connect two computers to a single USB peripheral. Recommended for home and small offices, this sharing switch eliminates the cost of buying two printers, two scanners, two hard drives, etc., as well as the problem of where to put them and their cables.
One-touch port switching lets you switch between computers using a mouse, hotkeys or manual pushbutton. Idle time-out switching ensures all data is sent from the active printer buffer before switching ports.
A taskbar icon indicates the connected device’s status. LEDs on the unit indicate which computer currently controls the device. The U215-002 is compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices and supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.
No external power supply required. Switch is compatible with all USB-enabled Operating Systems. Optional CD software is compatible with Windows (XP and later) and Mac (OS X 10.3 and later).
NOTE: Customers are encourage to use the 1.5 ft. USB cables provided between the source (e.g. PC) and switch. Using longer cables could cause an intermittent or connection loss.
