UGREEN CM692 · Product 25961
Control two computers with one monitor, keyboard and mouse
The UGREEN CM692 HDMI KVM Switch lets two computers share one HDMI display and up to four USB 3.0 peripherals. Switch your screen, keyboard, mouse, storage and other compatible USB devices from one computer to the other using the button on the unit or the included wired desktop controller.
What a KVM switch does
KVM stands for keyboard, video and mouse. Instead of maintaining separate screens and peripherals for two computers, this switch allows one selected computer at a time to use the connected HDMI monitor and shared USB devices.
This is not an HDMI splitter. It switches between Computer 1 and Computer 2; it does not show both computers simultaneously and does not combine their images.
Connection map
Every computer needs both video and USB data
For full KVM operation, connect each computer to its matching HDMI input and USB-C upstream data port. HDMI carries video and audio; the USB connection allows the shared keyboard, mouse and other USB peripherals to follow the selected computer.
Cables you need for a complete setup
- Computer 1: 1 HDMI cable + 1 USB-A-to-USB-C data cable.
- Computer 2: 1 HDMI cable + 1 USB-A-to-USB-C data cable.
- Monitor: 1 HDMI cable from HDMI OUT to the display.
- The box lists two HDMI cables and two USB-A-to-USB-C cables. You therefore need an existing or separately purchased third HDMI cable for the monitor output.
- A USB-C power cable and power adapter are not included.
High-resolution HDMI switching
Up to 8K@60Hz or high-refresh 4K
HDMI 2.1 support enables video modes up to 8K@60Hz and, with a fully compatible chain, high-refresh modes up to 4K@240Hz. It is backward compatible with commonly used 4K, 1440p and 1080p HDMI equipment.
Maximum performance requires every part of the chain—both source devices, the monitor and every HDMI cable—to support the selected resolution, refresh rate, colour format and HDMI bandwidth. Actual available modes are determined by the least capable component.
Shared USB 3.0 hub
Three USB-A ports plus one USB-C data port
Connect up to four compatible USB peripherals and move them with the selected computer. The three USB-A ports and one USB-C port support USB 3.0 data rates up to 5Gbps.
The front USB-C port is for peripheral data only. It does not accept video input, output video or charge a laptop.
Powering connected USB devices
Keyboards, mice and low-power USB accessories may operate from the power available through the host USB connections. For external hard drives, webcams and other higher-power peripherals, connect a suitable USB-C power source to the rear power-only port.
Power input: USB-C, 5V⎓3A maximum. The power-only port does not carry data or video. The USB-C power cable and power adapter are not included.
Two switching methods
Switch at the unit or from your desktop
Press the button on top of the KVM or use the included 1.5m wired desktop controller. The controller lets you keep the main switch and cable bundle away from the centre of your desk while retaining convenient access.
Keyboard-hotkey switching is not supported. Use the physical button or wired controller.
Driver-free operation
Designed for mixed-computer workspaces
The KVM itself requires no software driver and supports compatible Windows, macOS and Linux computers. Your sources must provide HDMI video and USB data connections, and each connected peripheral must support the operating system in use.
HDMI source devices such as game consoles may also be connected for video switching, but keyboard, mouse and USB accessory support depends on the source device, game or application.
What is included
Monitor-output HDMI cable, USB-C power cable and power adapter are not included.
