ATEN Presents Perfect Solution for Today's SOHO Environment: 2 and 4 Port USB 2.0 Peripheral Switches
 
ATEN INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of advanced connectivity solutions today announced the release of their 2 and 4 port USB 2.0 Peripheral Switches. In response to the advent of USB 2.0 and the greater speed of connection for many peripherals, ATEN has developed the US-221 (2port) and the US-421 (4port) USB 2.0 peripheral switches.


These two peripheral sharing devices enable 2 and 4 PCs to share a single USB peripheral on a one-at-a-time basis using a simple hotkey, the front panel push button, or Windows AP control software to transfer peripheral control among actively connected PCs.


"With the increased availability of USB-enabled PCs on the market today, our new 2 and 4 port USB 2.0 peripheral switches perfectly meet the requirements of next-generation standards such as fast transmission speeds of USB 2.0 in multiple computer environments," said Kevin Chen, President of ATEN International. "ATEN is committed in providing various connectivity and sharing solutions to the market. US-221 and US-421 are the ideal solutions for SOHO and home users to share a single USB device such as scanner or printer between multiple computers. The new products are designed to create a space-saving and efficient working environment for our consumers.


US-221 (2 ports) and the US-421 (4 ports) support transfer rates of 1.5, 12 and 480 Mbps and are both hot pluggable. USB devices can be easily attached and removed without resetting the system. A simple beep indicates the PC change and busy status while switching between the connected PCs. ATEN's 2 and 4 port USB 2.0 Peripheral Switches are perfect solutions for today's SOHO environment in need of reliable switching between computers from a central console.


Simple installation and operation make the 2 and 4 port USB 2.0 Peripheral Switches an easy choice for the right SOHO applications. No software drivers or system configuration is required since plug in the cables is all need.
About the KVM Switch
KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) switches are control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single console. Before the development of KVM switches, the only way to control multiple computers from a single console was through a complex and costly network. Now, with the KVM switch, people can easily access multiple computers or platforms (from 2 to up to 4096) in a convenient, space saving and cost effective manner.
