Baolongking USB 2.0 Splitter Y Cable - 2 Port Female to Dual Male Extender for Two Computers Using One Printer With 1.5m Cable

switches between outputs

Every disappointed, plugged in to two computers, from one hard drive, doesn't connect to both, one one computer

I have a music server with external hard drive . It's linked via WiFi to my pc and the software on ipad. Servers have the habit of going missing on windows without reason and transferring new files over WiFi is tediously slow. Possible solution? A usb splitter that hardwires to pc and network bridge. Hey presto this little gadget works perfectly. The switch is exactly what's required. This works first time and requires no setting up. The server updates and pc communicates without issue. Highly recommended for those who want a simple and cheap solution.

Does what it says on the box.

So pleased this worked. Just streamlined things for me. Perfect. Highly recommend.

This is exactly what I was after as I have a work and personal laptop on the same desk so I wanted to flip the key hardware (mouse printer keyboard etc) between personal and work laptop. I plugged the female end into a usb hub to control all the various devices and the two male ends into each computer. Works perfectly and just a switch to flip between each pc. Solved my issue of unplugging and replugging in usb perfectly.

AMENDED REVIEW 12 May, 2023. I originally gave this an EXCELLENT 5 star review but I've changed my mind because while the seller advertises it to be USB2 it AIN'T. It's only USB1 which makes scanning even the most simple document excessively time consuming and I've removed it from my computing systems months ago forgetting to update my review. This item cost me a penny less than £13. A month ago I THOUGHT I was buying an identical product for three pounds less but I wasn't. What I was buying for £9·99 was complete and utter rubbish which I will be returning in December. This product though DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX. I have multiple four port USB hubs connected to my wall, all individually switched. USB hubs need to be individually switched because if they aren't the equipment plugged into them dramatically reduces the transfer rate the USB port provides. Back in the day of IDE I bought a splitter which connected the mouse, keyboard and monitor to two computers. That was difficult because of the three interfaces on IDE equipment was totally different. USB makes it a lot easier but I've never before been able to find a splitter that works. Like the £10 job. Sometimes it worked but most of the time it didn't. This one seems to so NO LONGER am I going to be forever inserting the one USB male that connect all the equipment to either of two female USB ports which connect the individual computer because now they're already inserted. All I have to do is throw a switch to decide which computer I want all the equipment to control.

This product is spot on. Firstly this is not a paid review. I needed to connect my USB hub with my mouse, keyboard and headset To both my works laptop and my personal desktop. This cable connects to one USB on the laptop and one USB on the desktop, cables are nice and long before the switch and it’s a nice length after, the female connection has my USB hub connected and it all works great. No drivers needed to install just turned on the PC’s and it was working. A Click of the switch and I can switch between computers. Without the constant irritation of unplugging and reconnecting the hub. This of course will over time cause issues with the cable and connectors. I didn’t need all the extra stuff I get with a KVM this is the best solution for my needs. It is USB 2.0 and my hub is 3.0 but for mouse keyboard and headset it’s fine. I have tested with my portable usb3.0 dive and it works fine at around 25-30MB/s so 40GB will take about 30 Microsoft minutes. I haven’t been able to test it with a Mac but I would think it would work fine. Cable sizes are estimated as I can not speak for the size for all cables supplied but my ones are female to switch 500mm. The switch to male is 1000mm for each. The switch housing is about 50mm long and 30mm wide. I’ve added a picture of the switch as it is big and chunky. **** update **** Over the last few days I have noticed intermittent connection to my USB hub. Not sure what the issue is but I have been able to rule out the hub. This means that it has to be this switch. As the return period has ended I now need to look at options. This was great for the 2.5 months that it worked fine and then it gradually broke down. I have disconnected it and will try further troubleshooting to see if I can get it working again. **** Update 2 ***** Following various updates and testing on other device this product has now put in my failed pile. Through the six months I have had it it worked well in the beginning. I think it got warm over the summer and unfortunately this started the failures. It is a shame as it was perfect when it worked. I have now updated this to a USB 3.0 switch selector.

Exactement comme décrit.

Comperato per splittare le casse usb che uso da anni sul mio pc fisso per poterle usare anche sul chromebox che si trova sulla stessa scrivania. Di costruzione mediocre ma tutto sommato fa il suo dovere più che bene ad un prezzo consono.

Switch avec interrupteur .Fonctionne sans problème

Tut was er soll! Headset zwischen PC und Playstation mittels Schalter verbinden

Agradablement sorprès perquè no sols inclou els cables i communtador anunciats. Hi va un altre cable per a la impressora. Penso que el venedor hauria de millorar la foto per tal que el comprador ho vegi amb més claredat. Una volta muntat, tot funciona perfectament. Amb una impressora connectada a dos ordinadors, quan canvies el commutador, la impressora és reconeguda per un dels dos PC. I quan el tornes a moure, la reconeix l'altre. Fents proves d'impressió, tan bé imprimeix amb un PC com amb l'altre. El tornaria a comprar, subministra la gran comoditat de no haver de desconnectar el cable a un ordinador per a connectar-lo a l'altre.
