KVM-switch Trendnet TK-232DV

The Trendnet TK-232DV KVM switch enables control of two computers using a single USB keyboard and mouse while supporting DVI-I video output. Designed for dual-monitor setups, it delivers high-resolution video with a maximum analog resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and digital output up to 1920 x 1200 pixels. The unit integrates a two-port USB hub to share peripherals such as storage devices or printers between connected computers. Compact and powered from an AC source (100–240V, 50–60Hz), the TK-232DV is certified to meet FCC and CE standards for safety and electromagnetic compliance.

Advantages

The TK-232DV eliminates the need for multiple keyboards, mice and monitors by consolidating control of two systems into one console. Its DVI-I video support accommodates both digital and analog displays, while plug-and-play USB connections require no driver installation for quick setup. The built-in USB hub increases flexibility by enabling shared access to external storage and printers. Small dimensions and light weight make the unit simple to install in limited spaces or on a workstation desk.

Suitable for

• Office workstations that require switching between two computers
• IT administration and server maintenance tasks with remote console access
• Home offices where a single keyboard and mouse are preferred for multiple PCs
• Environments needing shared USB peripherals between two systems

How to use

Connect the TK-232DV to both computers using the provided DVI-I and USB cables, then connect your keyboard, mouse and any shared USB devices to the console and hub ports. Power the unit from an AC outlet within the specified 100–240V, 50–60Hz range. Use the front-panel controls or keyboard hotkeys to switch control between connected computers. No additional driver installation is required for basic keyboard, mouse and display operation; ensure each computer’s display settings match the intended resolution for optimal image quality.

Recommendations

For reliable video performance, match the monitor input mode (analog or digital) to the DVI-I output and set each computer’s display resolution to one supported by the TK-232DV. When sharing external storage or printers, safely eject devices from one computer before switching to the other to avoid data corruption. Place the unit in a ventilated area and use quality DVI and USB cables to minimise signal loss.
