USB Sharing Hub 4 CPU:1 Device

The USB 2.0 4-port sharing hub allows up to four computers to share access to a single USB device, such as a hard drive, scanner, camera, or printer.

Due to the nature of the USB signal timings and drivers, it is not possible to use a passive splitter cable to share a USB device between hosts. This sharing hub uses electronic switching to redirect the device to one specified host computer at a time, simulating the physical transportation of the device from one computer to another.

A separate, normal USB hub could also be shared, allowing this sharing hub to share multiple devices.

The hub is controlled by using a hotkey on the computers it is connected to. Pressing scroll lock twice on a connected computer will grab control of the device for that computer. The hub also includes a reset button.

The hub provides four upstream ports and one downstream port to the user.

The hub offers USB 2.0 speeds on all ports and is bus powered; no external power supply is necessary.
