ATEN Technology, Inc. announced the launch of its new 3-Port USB-C DisplayPort Hybrid KVMP Switch (CS1953). This solution is a hybrid KVMP Switch that integrates USB-C device and DisplayPort PC into a desktop workstation.
Taking a giant step forward from prior digital-interfaced KVM models, the CS1953 comes with USB Type-C functionality that transfers video, audio, data, and even provides USB Power Delivery 3.0 for USB-C device charging. That means, with a single USB-C cable, users can reduce bulky cable setups and experience a better working environment. It also supports DisplayPort connectivity between up to two computers, a monitor, and a mobile device (over USB-C), bringing 4K superior viewing quality to your desktop and revealing all your visual content, text and numerical digits in outstanding precision.
This solution is ideal for those who need fast multi-computer switching to handle heavy data processing or verify user-interface development over high-performance monitors, such as government staff, marketing professionals, sales warriors and engineers. Additionally, those who need increased productivity and high precision for multitasking between computers to monitor diverse data and indicators in trading and sales charts, such as financial and market analysts, as well as graphic designers and CAD engineers to switch between two computers and your USB-C mobile devices for design artwork in 4K visual quality. By elevating desktop productivity as well as providing increased mobility, this KVMP Switch could be ideal for a WFH set-up.
This KVMP switch is aimed to elevate desktop productivity with improved mobility.
“Our new 3-Port USB-C DisplayPort Hybrid KVMP Switch, the CS1953, provides the means to plug-n-play to mobile devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones) without going through a docking station, making it a true space and money saver for your desktop workspace,” said Aaron Johnson, senior product manager, ATEN Technology, Inc. “It is especially suitable for government staff, marketing professionals, finance specialists and analysts, graphic designers as well as people who are simply looking for a more agile computer set up as they acclimate to working from their home.”
