Why CKS202-P23-N?

Overview

01

Two displays via one USB-C port

A compatible Windows laptop transmits video, USB data and charging power for the dual-monitor setup via a full USB-C connection with MST.

02

Two display modes for two laptops

Use both monitors with one laptop, or display a computer on each screen. The keyboard and mouse control the desired system.

03

Charge both laptops. Share Gigabit Ethernet.

Each compatible USB-C computer receives up to 60W of charging power. Both systems share the KVM's Gigabit Ethernet port – for fewer separate chargers and network adapters.

04

Two 4K60s for everyday work

Up to 3840×2160@60Hz in 4:4:4 on compatible computers and displays – for office work, development and creative tasks.

05

EDID keeps both desktops stable

EDID emulation keeps the monitor information available for both computers and reduces the need to re-detect displays and move windows when switching.

06

USB and audio on the desired computer

USB and audio can remain connected to the system while you switch the display output. This is useful for calls, storage, and other devices that need to stay connected.

07

Share USB devices

Shared USB ports connect compatible storage devices and accessories to the selected computer – at speeds up to USB 3.0.

Data & Support

Compatibility & Connections

PC 1–2 – USB-C-Computer
Für Video muss der USB-C-Anschluss DisplayPort Alt Mode oder eine kompatible Thunderbolt-Verbindung unterstützen. Für mehrere Displays über ein Kabel ist außerdem MST erforderlich.

MONITOR A–B – HDMI-Displays
Schließen Sie zwei HDMI-Monitore an. Die Anleitung gibt bis zu 4K@60Hz mit 4:4:4 an.

Windows und MST
Ein kompatibler Windows-Computer kann über einen voll ausgestatteten USB-C-Anschluss und MST zwei unabhängige Displays ansteuern.

macOS-Einschränkung
macOS unterstützt DisplayPort MST für unabhängige erweiterte Displays nicht wie Windows. Je nach Mac-Modell kann ein einzelner USB-C-MST-Pfad auf ein gespiegeltes Bild oder ein unabhängiges erweitertes Display begrenzt sein.

Ladefunktion
Bis zu 60 W je kompatiblem Computer erfordern eine erfolgreiche 20-V-Power-Delivery-Aushandlung. Andernfalls ist nur eine geringere Ladeleistung möglich. Einige ThinkPad-Yoga-/T-Modelle können die vollen 60 W möglicherweise nicht nutzen.

Frequently asked questions

You can find further answers in our Help Center.

[Compatibility] Which USB-C computers are compatible with CKS202-P23-N?

For video, the USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or a compatible Thunderbolt connection. Charging-only or data-only ports do not offer full KVM display functionality.

[Compatibility] Can a Windows laptop use two independent displays via a single USB-C cable?

Yes, if the laptop supports DisplayPort MST over a full-fledged USB-C port.

[Compatibility] Does a Mac support two independently extended displays via MST?

Unlike Windows, macOS does not support DisplayPort MST for two independently extended displays. The available display output depends on the Mac model and its native support for external displays.

[Compatibility] What is the maximum supported resolution?

According to the instructions, up to 3840×2160@60Hz in 4:4:4 with compatible computers, monitors and cables.

[Connections] Can both laptops share Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes. The KVM offers a shared Gigabit Ethernet connection with speeds up to 1000 Mbps.

[Functions] Can the CKS202-P23-N charge both laptops?

Yes. Any compatible USB-C computer will receive up to 60W, provided it supports the required 20V power delivery negotiation.

[Functions] Does the KVM switch support EDID emulation?

Yes. EDID emulation keeps monitor information available for both computers. This reduces the need for re-detection of displays and the re-moving of windows when switching.

[Furnishings] How do I connect a Windows laptop to two displays using a USB-C cable?

Connect the laptop to the KVM's MST-enabled input using a full-size USB-C cable. Connect both HDMI monitors to the outputs.
