Compact USB KVM Switch Cable – Mini Mechanical Host Sharing Device

Description

This ordinary-looking USB cable features a built-in mechanical switch that allows you to toggle the USB peripheral connection between two USB A host ports, acting like a miniature KVM switch without video support.

Ideal for switching a USB device, such as a USB key, between a Raspberry Pi and a laptop, making it handy for programming and testing applications.

Important Note: The 5V and Ground pins are connected between the two host devices. This is a very ‘hacky’ system intended for research and development use only, not for finished product deployment.

Features:

• Mechanical switch connects D+ and D- lines for two USB A host connections.
• Compact and simple USB switching cable.
• Suitable for switching USB peripherals between two hosts.

Technical Details:

• Female socket cable length: approximately 7.5″ / 19 cm
• Male plug cables length: approximately 30″ / 76.2 cm
• Switch body dimensions: 52 mm x 25.8 mm x 31.2 mm
