Description

Black Box ACX1004A-HID4 USB HID KM Switch

Overview

The Black Box ACX1004A-HID4 is a 4-port USB HID Keyboard-Mouse switch designed for environments where a single operator needs to control multiple computers from one set of peripherals. This device allows seamless switching between connected PCs, streamlining workflows in control rooms, server management, or multi-system workstations. Its HID (Human Interface Device) compliance ensures broad compatibility with standard keyboards and mice, eliminating the need for proprietary drivers and simplifying integration.

Compatibility

This switch is designed to work with any standard USB HID-compliant keyboard and mouse. It supports connection to up to four separate computers, each requiring a USB connection for keyboard and mouse input. It is compatible with all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, without requiring additional software installation on the host systems.

Installation Notes

Connect the switch to your host computers using standard USB A-to-B cables (not included). Connect your keyboard and mouse to the designated USB ports on the switch. Switching between computers is accomplished via a physical button on the switch itself. Ensure adequate space for cable management between the switch and the connected PCs.
