The Belkin 2x1 USB Peripheral Switch (the Switch) gives multiple computers access to a single USB 1.1-compliant device-such as a printer, camera, scanner, or an external storage device. It offers a convenient design and easy-to-use switching software that gives you immediate access to your USB device. Once connected, your device stays available to all connected computers, eliminating the need for you to unplug and reconnect it to another computer.
