Dispositivo para compartir periféricos USB 2.0 de 2 puertos ATEN US224AT — USB Type-A, cable de 1,8 m, negro

The ATEN US224AT is a compact USB 2.0 2-port peripheral sharing device that allows two computers to share USB peripherals through USB Type-A connectors. Housed in a black plastic case and supplied with an integrated 1.8 m cable, the unit supports basic USB 2.0 data connections for keyboards, mice and additional USB devices. The all-in-one design reduces cable clutter by eliminating the need for separate USB cables to each computer, making it suitable for small offices, home workstations and multi-system setups where simple peripheral switching is required.

Advantages

The US224AT offers a lightweight and simple-to-install solution for sharing a keyboard, mouse and up to two additional USB peripherals between two computers. Its integrated 1.8 m cable and compact footprint make it easy to position near desktops or monitors. The device provides a practical way to reduce hardware costs and cable complexity while maintaining USB 2.0 data compatibility for standard input devices and basic USB peripherals.

Suitable for

• Home office setups with two computers
• Small business workstations requiring shared keyboard and mouse
• Environments that need occasional switching between two PCs (e.g., testing, development)
• Users who want to reduce desktop cable clutter

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 2.0 (USB Type-A connectors)
• Ports supported: share a keyboard and mouse plus up to two additional USB peripherals
• Cable: integrated 1.8 m USB cable
• Housing: compact plastic enclosure, black finish
• Compatibility: supports standard USB HID devices and basic USB 2.0 peripherals

How to use

Connect the integrated 1.8 m cable to a computer and connect the shared USB devices (keyboard, mouse and up to two peripherals) to the device's USB Type-A ports. Use the unit's switching control (hardware switch) to change active control between the two connected computers. No additional drivers are required for standard USB human interface devices; the connected computers should recognize keyboards, mice and basic USB peripherals automatically under supported operating systems.

Recommendations

Place the US224AT close to the workstation where the keyboard and mouse are used to avoid excess cable tension. For optimal operation, use standard USB 2.0 peripherals and avoid high-bandwidth devices (such as multiple external storage drives) that may exceed USB 2.0 shared bandwidth expectations.
