Lindy 2 Port DisplayPort 1.2 USB-C USB 2.0 & Audio Cable KVM Switch

Not every desk runs two identical machines. If one of yours is a DisplayPort desktop and the other is a USB-C laptop or tablet, you've got a problem most KVM switches can't solve - they're either all DisplayPort or all HDMI. The Lindy 42346 handles both in one unit. A 1.2m DisplayPort cable for the PC, a 1.2m USB-C cable for the laptop - both built right into the switch, both ready to go out of the box.

Resolution holds at 4K@60Hz across both connections, with full 4:4:4 colour and HDCP 1.4 support. DisplayPort 1.2 handles the heavy lifting on the PC side, while the USB-C connection keeps modern laptops and desktop OS tablets in the loop without any adapters or dongles in the chain.

Audio is covered too. Plug headphones, speakers and a microphone into the front panel 3.5mm ports and they switch alongside everything else. USB 2.0 hub support means you can share peripherals across both machines without a separate hub cluttering the desk. Bus powered throughout - no external PSU, nothing extra to plug in.

Switch via the front panel button, keyboard hotkey, or software. Compact, tidy, and built specifically for the mixed-platform desk that the mainstream switches completely ignore.

Product Q&A

Q: Can I connect a DisplayPort PC and a USB-C laptop to the same KVM switch?

A: Yes - that's exactly what the Lindy 42346 is built for. It has an integrated 1.2m DisplayPort cable for your PC and an integrated 1.2m USB-C cable for your laptop or tablet. Both connect to a single monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Q: Do I need to buy any cables separately?

A: No. The DisplayPort and USB-C cables are built directly into the unit. You just need a monitor with a DisplayPort input - everything else is already attached to the switch.

Q: Does this KVM switch work with MacBooks?

A: Yes, with one caveat. The USB-C connection works with any MacBook that has a USB-C or Thunderbolt port. Button switching works on all macOS versions. However, software and hotkey switching are not compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina specifically due to a 32-bit limitation.

Q: Does it need an external power supply?

A: No. The Lindy 42346 is bus powered and draws its power directly from the connected computers. No external power adapter is required or included.

Q: What resolution does this KVM switch support?

A: Up to 3840 x 2160 (4K) at 60Hz with full 4:4:4 colour via DisplayPort 1.2. HDCP 1.4 is supported for protected content.
