Tripp Lite 2-Port USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Sharing Switch for Printer/Scanner/Other (U215-002)
Desks fill up fast when every computer needs its own dedicated hardware. We built this sharing switch to let several computers take turns using a single printer, scanner, or external drive. It cuts down on cable clutter and clears work surfaces across a shared office.

How this one is built
Pushbutton hardware selection
Switching between computers happens right at the unit with manual buttons. A clear status light shows which workstation holds the connection, avoiding confusion when several people send print jobs.
Desk space conservation
Instead of crowding a room with extra hardware, one peripheral serves the whole group. The black enclosure sits flat beside a keyboard or tucks out of the way behind a monitor stand.
Broad peripheral support
The switch handles high speed connections for external storage, flatbed scanners, and standard office printers. It also connects older USB equipment without requiring extra adapters or dedicated power bricks.
Clean cable layout
Cables run straight from each computer back to the rear panel of the switch. That arrangement keeps the rats nest off the floor and stops people from constantly unplugging and swapping cords by hand.
On the nameplate
These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
