KVM Hub Unitek U1344ABK01 — 10 Gbps, switching between 2 hosts, 3× USB-A ports

Unitek KVM Hub U1344ABK01 is a compact KVM-style USB hub that enables switching of peripherals between two host systems. The device provides a high-speed 10 Gbps data connection and three USB-A ports for connecting keyboards, mice, flash drives, printers or other USB accessories. Its small footprint and simple switching make it suitable for desktop and small office setups where users need to share input devices and USB peripherals between two computers without constant reconnections.

Advantages

The hub supports up to 10 Gbps throughput for fast file transfers and responsive peripheral operation while maintaining compatibility with standard USB-A devices. Physical switching between two hosts reduces cable swapping and desk clutter, and the unit's compact design fits neatly alongside monitors or on a workstation. Installation requires no complex configuration, and connected devices remain powered and recognized by the active host.

Suitable for

• Shared desktop environments where two computers need a single keyboard and mouse
• Small offices or home offices that require occasional file transfers via USB flash drives
• Workstations running multiple systems for testing, development or administrative tasks
• Environments where reducing cable clutter and simplifying peripheral sharing is desired

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Host switching: supports switching between two host systems
• Ports: 3 × USB-A downstream ports for peripherals
• Form factor: compact desktop hub suitable for placement next to monitors or on a desk
• Compatibility: compatible with standard USB-A peripherals such as keyboards, mice, storage drives and printers

How to use

Connect the hub to each host using the appropriate upstream cables supplied with the device, then plug keyboards, mice and other USB-A peripherals into the hub's downstream ports. Use the hub's switching control to select the active host; connected devices will be available to the selected computer. For file transfers, ensure the target host recognizes the storage device before initiating read/write operations. Place the hub within easy reach to switch hosts as needed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, connect high-power devices such as external hard drives to a powered USB port or use a powered USB hub if necessary. Avoid hot-plugging high-current devices during active transfers and ensure both hosts are configured to accept USB input devices. Keep firmware and drivers for host operating systems up to date to maintain compatibility with USB peripherals.
