Description

StarTech C2-H46-UAC-CBL-KVM 2-Port Hybrid USB-C HDMI KVM Switch

Overview

The StarTech C2-H46-UAC-CBL-KVM is a compact KVM switch designed to simplify workstation management by allowing you to control two computers using a single set of peripherals. This unit supports hybrid connections, integrating both USB-C (with DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and HDMI for video input, alongside USB 2.0 for peripheral control. It's ideal for environments that require seamless switching between a modern USB-C laptop and a traditional desktop or server, such as IT support desks, development labs, or multi-system workstations. The integrated 1.8m (6ft) USB-C/HDMI cable for PC1 and 1.2m (4ft) cable for PC2 minimize cable clutter. The switch supports up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, ensuring high-definition video output for demanding applications. Its bus-powered design eliminates the need for an external power adapter, further streamlining setup.

Compatibility

This KVM switch is compatible with Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10, 11 (including ARM versions), macOS 10.12 through 12, and ChromeOS. It supports PC video input via USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and HDMI 2.0b, and DVI Single Link. The console side features HDMI for video, USB 2.0 Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse, and 3.5mm stereo audio jacks for speaker output. Host connections include USB-C, HDMI, USB 2.0 Type-A, and 3.5mm stereo audio input jacks.

Installation Notes

The C2-H46-UAC-CBL-KVM is bus-powered, drawing power directly from the connected computers via USB. Ensure that the host computers provide sufficient USB power. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), and storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). Humidity should be kept between 0% and 90% RH (non-condensing).
