4K UHD Resolution

Achieve 3840 x 2160 @30Hz 4K UHD Resolution with this Dual-Link DVI KVM Switch using IOGEAR's 4K HDMI to DVI-D Converter Cable GHDDVIC4K3. With this reversible 4K cable, you may use 4K source and project to 4K monitors, without the need to upgrade your Dual-Link DVI KVM switch setup.

Convenient Switching Methods

Switch and access four DisplayPort computers from a simple pushbutton on the front panel or hotkeys combination on your keyboard. IOGEAR's 2-Port Dual-Link DVI Dual Monitor KVM Switch also offers the latest mouse port-switching functionality to change ports. Easily switch between connected computers by clicking the wheel button on your 3-button USB mouse.

Share USB 2.0 Devices

The GCS1642 also features two USB 2.0 peripheral ports for asynchronously sharing USB devices between your computers.
