Extron SW2 USB (part number 60-952-01) — a compact 2-input USB 2.0 switcher for sharing one set of peripherals between two host computers.

Rather than duplicating a keyboard, mouse, or annotation device at every seat, the SW2 USB lets two hosts take turns driving a single 4-port USB hub through front-panel selection, RS-232 commands, or a contact closure input. Port status indication and a front-panel lockout keep switching predictable in shared control positions, and RS-232 pass-through lets the unit sit inline with an existing control system rather than replacing it.

Key Capabilities

• 2 USB type B host inputs switched to a shared 4-port USB 2.0 type A hub
• Handles low, full, and high speed USB 2.0 traffic up to 480 Mbps
• 500 mA of USB power shared across the four output ports
• RS-232 control with RS-232 pass-through on captive screw connectors
• Contact closure input for third-party AV control integration
• 1U half-rack metal chassis at just 2.0 lbs

Where It Is Used

The SW2 USB is common in courtroom benches, interpreter stations, and small huddle rooms where two presenters need to swap control of one shared USB peripheral set without physically re-cabling anything.
