ATEN International has announced the launch of its new 2-port 4K DisplayPort USB-C KVM Dock Switch.

The US3311 switch is perfectly suited for any application that needs to integrate two USB-C laptops and share one external 4K monitor and USB3.0 peripherals for high efficiency and productivity, such as graphics-intensive or data-intensive work in SOHO, WFH, and corporate environments.

The unit takes just three seconds to switch between two systems, making workflows smoother than ever before. With four USB3.2 Gen1 ports that can transfer data at up to 5Gbps, ten times faster than USB2.0, it can also enhance efficiency with high-speed transmission. With USB expansion for peripheral integration, it increases convenience for users to power external devices without the need for an extra USB hub.

To increase visual enhancement for graphics-intensive work, the switch offers support for up to 3840×2160@60Hz, as well as 21:9 Ultrawide, and 32:9 super Ultrawide monitors.

ATEN senior vice president, Nicholas Lin, says: “Due to the impact of the pandemic, flexible working is the new normal for many people. Faster switching and USB expansion for peripheral integration and high-speed transmission are two important factors that can increase efficiency and productivity in flexible working scenarios, especially those that require graphics, and data-intensive multitasking operations such as content creation.”
