The main advantage of the US-224 model is the included wired remote selection switch. It allows the device itself to be placed out of sight, e.g., under the desk or in a cable tray, while maintaining full control over switching via a single, aesthetic button always within reach. It is a Plug-and-Play solution, meaning it requires no additional driver installation or complex software configuration. Simply connect the cables and the device is ready to work.
The product is characterised by high-quality workmanship, a hallmark of the ATEN brand. It supports various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and Sun, making it a universal tool in multi-platform environments. Additionally, built-in overcurrent protection shields connected devices from damage, and LED indicators clearly inform the user which computer currently has control over the peripherals. It is an ideal choice for offices, home workstations (Home Office), and monitoring systems where there is a need to share USB resources.

The US-224 USB switch is an advanced and highly practical solution for users working on two computers simultaneously who want to avoid desk clutter caused by duplicating keyboards, mice, or other peripherals. This device combines the functionality of a KVM switch for USB ports with an active USB hub, offering 4 output ports. This allows a single set of accessories, such as a printer, scanner, external drive, or control set, to be instantly shared between two central units or laptops.
