ATEN 2-Port 4K DisplayPort USB-C KVM Dock Switch with Power Pass-through

The ATEN US3311 is a compact aluminium KVM switch and multiport USB-C dock designed to share one DisplayPort monitor and a set of USB peripherals between two host computers. It integrates four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a DisplayPort output, a USB-C Power Delivery input and a DC jack, and supports up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60 Hz video output. A dedicated port switch button enables quick switching between two laptops, while Power Delivery 3.0 delivers up to 100 W to the connected host.

Advantages

The US3311 combines KVM functionality with a multiport hub to reduce cable clutter and save desk space, allowing two computers to share the same keyboard, mouse, USB accessories and single high-resolution DisplayPort monitor. USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports provide up to 5 Gbps data transfer for high-speed downstream devices, and the unit’s aluminium housing offers durable construction. Power Delivery 3.0 support lets you power and charge a compatible laptop through the USB-C PD input while maintaining peripheral connectivity.

Suitable for

• Shared workstation setups with two laptops or desktop hosts
• Environments requiring a single 4K DisplayPort monitor for multiple devices
• Users who need fast USB 3.2 Type-A connectivity for external drives and peripherals
• Desks where space savings and fewer cable changes are desired

Connect each host using the provided host cables to the KVM inputs, or use the USB-C PD input and DC jack for power as required. Use the dedicated port switch button to toggle control between the two connected computers; the active host will receive the shared DisplayPort signal and USB peripheral access. Ensure a compatible USB-C power adapter is connected if you want to supply up to 100 W to the host via Power Delivery.

Recommendations

For reliable 4K@60 Hz video, use DisplayPort-certified cables and ensure the connected host’s GPU and DisplayPort version support 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Use a USB-C power adapter rated for sufficient wattage (up to 100 W) to charge larger laptops while connected.
