ATEN 2-Port USB-C Gen2 DisplayPort 4K KVMP Switch CS52DP

The Aten CS52DP is a 2-port USB-C Gen 2 DisplayPort 4K KVMP Switch that enables a single operator to control two computers—each connected via a single USB-C cable—while sharing a common DisplayPort monitor, USB peripherals, and audio equipment. The switch leverages USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) signaling over USB-C to carry video, data, and power delivery simultaneously, eliminating the cable clutter typically associated with multi-computer workstations. DisplayPort 1.4 output supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 × 2160) at 60 Hz with HDR, making it well suited to high-fidelity display environments such as financial trading desks, engineering workstations, and creative production suites.

The CS52DP incorporates a 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub, delivering up to 10 Gbps data throughput to connected peripherals such as high-speed storage devices, professional audio interfaces, and video capture hardware. USB Power Delivery pass-through allows the switch to charge a connected laptop at up to 60 W through the upstream USB-C port while simultaneously transmitting data and video, removing the need for a separate charging adapter at the desk. Port switching can be triggered via front-panel pushbuttons, keyboard hotkeys, or mouse-toggling for fast, interruption-minimised transitions between host computers.

Designed for enterprise deployments that demand signal integrity and peripheral consistency, the CS52DP maintains EDID emulation to prevent monitor re-detection and display reconfiguration events during port switches. The compact desktop form factor and bus-powered operation (when hosts provide sufficient current) support both fixed workstation builds and flexible hot-desk environments. Aten's KVMP architecture—combining KVM control with USB peripheral sharing and audio switching—reduces the total number of physical devices required at each operator position, contributing to simplified cable management and a lower hardware footprint across large-scale rollouts.

Ideal for

• Financial trading desks requiring simultaneous access to two high-performance workstations on a single 4K DisplayPort monitor without peripheral duplication
• Software development environments where engineers switch between a primary development machine and a secondary build or test system while sharing a keyboard, mouse, and USB storage
• Creative and media production workstations that demand 4K HDR display fidelity and high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity for external NVMe drives and audio interfaces
• Hot-desk and flexible workspace deployments where users connect personal laptops via a single USB-C cable to a standardised monitor and peripheral set, with USB Power Delivery charging the device
• IT administration and systems management stations requiring rapid switching between a primary administrative host and an isolated management or out-of-band server terminal
• Dual-computer security-conscious workplaces where an operator must alternate between a classified and an unclassified system using a single peripheral set while maintaining physical separation of the two hosts
