OCOEE, FL, September 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Cable Matters Inc. has introduced a new 40Gbps USB4 KVM switch for two laptops, designed to simplify shared workspaces. The model 201342 switch allows users to easily switch between a work laptop and a personal computer by sharing a compatible monitor or docking station with the press of a button. This innovative device is part of Cable Matters' comprehensive line of cables, adapters, docking stations, and networking products for home, office, and data center use.
The switch is built to support high-resolution video output, with capabilities up to 8K at 60Hz, 6K at 60Hz, or 4K at 240Hz. Additionally, it offers USB Power Delivery pass-through up to 140W, ensuring that the selected laptop receives the necessary power. Users can select a computer using the onboard button or an included RF remote control, which operates without a direct line of sight. The switch is compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 equipment, supporting connections up to its 40Gbps limit.
Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the switch combines two built-in host cables and one built-in output cable in a compact enclosure. It supports the sharing of peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, and storage between the two computers, reducing the need for duplicate equipment on the desk. Compatible docking stations must have a detachable host cable, and those with permanently attached host cables cannot be connected using a USB-C coupler. Video output requires a compatible host port with display support; a USB-C data-only port cannot provide video.
