Introduction
The SV221NANOU 2-Port Nano USB VGA Cable KVM Switch lets you
control two systems using a single USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA
monitor. A space-saving design helps to organize your desk without
sacrificing control and convenience.
Featuring a push-button remote control on a 1.5 meter (5 ft.) cable that can
be placed in an easily accessible location on your desk as well as keyboard
hotkeys for switching between Windows®systems, this KVM makes it easy
to manage both of your connected computers. The KVM switch draws
power from the USB connected systems, doing away with the need for a
bulky external power adapter.
Offering support for extremely high resolutions of up to 2048x1536, this
KVM has the capability of driving large VGA displays with crystal clarity.
The SV221NANOU is perfect for streamlining the clutter on your desk and
