Description
This ordinary-looking USB cable features a built-in mechanical switch that allows you to toggle the USB peripheral connection between two USB A host ports, acting like a miniature KVM switch without video support.
Ideal for switching a USB device, such as a USB key, between a Raspberry Pi and a laptop, making it handy for programming and testing applications.
Important Note: The 5V and Ground pins are connected between the two host devices. This is a very 'hacky' system intended for research and development use only, not for finished product deployment.
Features:
- Mechanical switch connects D+ and D- lines for two USB A host connections.
- Compact and simple USB switching cable.
- Suitable for switching USB peripherals between two hosts.
