USB-C Combiner: DisplayPort and USB to USB-C
For technical support or questions regarding Level 1 Techs hardware, KVMs and their accessories that are not answered in the product description below, please submit a support ticket.
This item will take a DisplayPort 1.4 + USB5gbps input and convert it to USB-C output.
The significance of this is to make USB-C KVMs possible for more people who want them, but have a computer that does not support both display and usb signals on the usbc connector.
If you want to use a MAC + PC, typically you would have to use a DisplayPort KVM & convert the USB-C device output to DisplayPort. Cables like the Moshi USB-C to DisplayPort cable cannot be flipped around to be a DisplayPort PC output to USB-C KVM input. Therefore, if you want to use the Level1Techs USB-C KVM with a DisplayPort device, the best solution we offer is the USB-C Combiner.
NOTE: this does mean that the display and usb share bandwidth. Don't expect 4k/120hz and 5gbps usb at the same time. You need display stream compression (generally not a good time on mac) or to run the usb in usb2 mode at these extreme dp bandwidths.
