Tripp Lite U359-002 2-Port USB 3.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch

Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port USB 3.x (5Gbps) Peripheral Sharing Switch

The Tripp Lite U359-002 2-Port USB 3.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch lets two computers share one USB printer, scanner, hard drive, webcam, security camera, or other compatible peripheral. Designed for home offices and small businesses, this external USB switch helps reduce equipment costs, cable clutter, and workspace requirements by allowing multiple computers to access a single USB device.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 performance

Support for USB 3.0 data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps helps move files quickly and supports bandwidth-intensive peripherals such as high-resolution webcams and security cameras. The U359-002 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, allowing older peripherals to remain in service while newer USB 3.0 equipment operates at its supported performance level. The maximum cable distance between the host device and peripheral is approximately 16 feet.

Simple manual switching and plug-and-play setup

One-touch buttons make it easy to switch control of the connected USB peripheral from one computer to the other. Blue LED indicators show which computer currently has access. Installation requires no external power supply, software, or drivers. Connect the USB peripheral to the switch and attach both computers using user-supplied USB 3.0 cables for immediate operation with supported USB-enabled systems. The compact black design fits neatly into a workstation, and the included owner's manual provides setup guidance. The switch is backed by a 3-year limited warranty and meets REACH environmental compliance requirements.
