UGREEN 60622 CM430 DisplayPort Switch, 2 In 1 Out, Bi-Directional, 4K at 60 Hz

Overview

The UGREEN 60622 (model CM430) is a small DisplayPort switch that works in either direction. Connect two computers to it and share one DisplayPort monitor, pressing a button to choose which one shows, or connect one computer and send its picture to either of two monitors. It suits a desk where a laptop on a dock and a desktop PC share one screen, and it needs no drivers.

Is it right for you?

• Suits two DisplayPort sources, for example a laptop dock and a desktop graphics card, sharing one DisplayPort monitor, or one source switched between two monitors.
• It shows one path at a time. In the one-in, two-out direction only one monitor is active, so it does not mirror or extend a desktop across both screens.
• It switches video only, not a keyboard or mouse. If you want the keyboard and mouse to follow the screen, a KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch suits better.
• It is a DisplayPort 1.2 device, so 4K at 60 Hz is the ceiling; it suits 4K at 60 Hz and 1080p monitors.

Key features

• Two modes: two inputs to one output, or one input switched to either of two outputs.
• DisplayPort 1.2 with up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60 Hz, and 1080p at 60 Hz.
• HDR passes through, with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 2.2 and 1.4, so protected video plays when the rest of the chain supports it.
• One button with LED indicators shows which port is active.
• Signals reach up to 10 m with good-quality DisplayPort cables.
• Powered over USB-C at 5 V 1 A, and the power cable comes with it.
• Black aluminium housing, 51 x 51 x 13.5 mm and 0.1 kg, small enough to sit behind a monitor.
• No drivers on Windows, macOS or Linux.

What else you need

A DisplayPort cable for each connection: one for each source and one for the monitor, or the reverse in the one-in, two-out mode. A USB port or 5 V USB charger to power it through the supplied cable.

Installation

No installation is needed. Plug the DisplayPort cables in, connect the USB-C power cable and press the button to choose the active port.

Before you buy

• Switching is manual with the button; there is no remote and no automatic switching.
• It is not a KVM switch and does not switch USB keyboards or mice.
• Output is limited to 4K at 60 Hz, and the source, cables and monitor also set what you get.
