Product Information

Full details

The UGREEN 8K@60Hz Displayport KVM Switch is designed for users with two DisplayPort-equipped computers who need to share a single DP monitor, a USB-C device, and a USB peripheral like a keyboard or mouse. Its key benefit is streamlining your workspace by eliminating the need for multiple monitors and peripherals, significantly boosting productivity. A key caveat is that it requires two USB A to C cables for power and data, and is not a full USB-C KVM switch.

FAQs

Do I need a USB-C power adapter?

A USB-C power adapter is not included. While the KVM draws power via the two USB A to C cables from your computers, a separate adapter may be beneficial if you are connecting high-power USB devices.

Can I use this with my HDMI monitor?

No, this is a DisplayPort KVM switch and does not have HDMI ports. You will need a monitor with DisplayPort input.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The KVM switch supports up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@240Hz. However, achieving these rates requires compatible computers, monitors, and DP 1.4 cables (AWG30, under 1 meter).

How do I switch between computers?

You can switch between computers by pressing the physical button located on the top of the KVM switch or by using the included handheld remote switch.

Can I connect a USB hub to this KVM?

It is recommended not to use a USB hub with this KVM switch to avoid potential incompatibility issues.

What cables are included?

The product description indicates that two USB A to C cables are required for power and data, but does not specify if they are included. Separate DisplayPort cables are also needed for each computer and are not mentioned as included.

Is this a USB-C KVM switch?

No, this is a DisplayPort KVM switch. While it has a USB-C port for data transfer (up to 5Gbps), the video connection requires DisplayPort, and the power/data connection for the computers uses USB A to C cables.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on the monitor

Verify that the DisplayPort cable is securely connected to both the computer and the KVM switch, and to the monitor. Ensure both USB A to C cables are connected for power and data. Check that the correct input source is selected on your monitor. Try using a different DisplayPort cable and ensure it meets DP 1.4 specifications if aiming for high resolutions.

USB devices (keyboard, mouse) not working

Ensure the USB A to C cables are properly connected to both computers for power and data transfer. Try plugging the USB devices directly into the KVM's USB ports. Test the USB devices on a single computer to confirm they are functional.

Poor performance or flickering display

Check the length and quality of your DisplayPort cables; for 8K@60Hz, cables should be DP 1.4, AWG30, and no longer than 1 meter. Ensure your computer and monitor both support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue resolves, indicating a potential bandwidth limitation.

Unable to switch between computers

Confirm that both computers are powered on and connected via both DisplayPort and USB A to C cables. Press the physical switch button firmly. If using the handheld switch, ensure its cable is securely connected to the KVM. Restart the KVM switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB A to C power cables.

External hard drive not recognized or slow

Ensure the USB A to C cable providing power to the KVM is connected. For high-power devices like external hard drives, ensure the USB-C port is adequately charged. Try connecting the drive to a different USB port on the KVM. Test the drive directly connected to a computer to rule out issues with the drive itself.
