The Extron SW USB Series of two- and four-input USB switchers allows
switching between multiple host devices and multiple USB peripherals.
Integration-oriented features include: port status indication, RS-232
pass-through, front panel security lockout, and multiple control points.
The SW USB Series is ideal for applications such as KVM, interactive
whiteboard, and annotator-based applications in education, judicial, or
corporate settings, or wherever reliable USB switching is needed.
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SW USB Series are two- and four-input USB switchers that
provide integrator-friendly solutions for implementing USB 2.0
compatible switching in professional AV environments. A number of
specialized features help further streamline integration, such as: port
status indication, RS-232 pass-through, front panel security lockout,
and multiple control points.
AA USB 2.0 compatible – Supports 480 Mbps high speed
communications and is backwards compatible with all prior USB
versions.
All of the SW USB Series switchers act as active USB hubs,
supplying 5V, 500mA to attached devices, per USB specification.
In addition, the switchers are USB 2.0 compatible, and are
backwardly-compatible with all previous USB data rate
specifications, including low speed 1.5 Mbps, full speed 12 Mbps,
and hi-speed 480 Mbps.
RS-232 pass-through reduces control port requirements by
processing SIS commands within the SW USB while also passing
them through to other controllable Extron audio and video switchers.
The SW4 USB Plus model features Host and Peripheral Emulation
Mode, which provides “keep alive” functionality by continuously
mimicking host and keyboard/mouse device communications within
the switcher. This emulation eliminates the need for enumeration,
and reduces the chance of failed device communications throughout
the switching process.
The SW USB Series incorporates rack mountable, 1U, half rack
width enclosures for simplified integration. All models include an
external, universal power supply for worldwide power compatibility.
AA Four port output hub with 5V, 500mA available on each
output – Allows simultaneous connection to multiple peripheral
devices such as mass storage devices, keyboards, mice, or
other HID – Human Interface Devices. Attached devices can be
powered via the 5V, 500mA current provided on each output.
AA Port Status LEDs – Provides visual indication of port activity
for enumerated peripherals and all connected and active host
devices.
AA Multiple control points – Operation via front panel, RS-232, and
contact closure offers integration flexibility into a variety of control
environments.
AA RS-232 pass-through – Reduces RS-232 control port
requirements by processing SIS commands within the SW USB
while also passing them through to other controllable Extron video
switchers.
AA Front panel security lockout – Prevents unauthorized use in
non-secure environments. In lockout mode, a special button
combination is required to operate the switcher from the front
panel.
AA Rack-mountable 1U, half rack width metal enclosure
AA Energy-efficient external universal power supply included –
Provides worldwide compatibility, low power consumption, and
reduced operating costs.
SW4 USB PLUS - UNIQUE FEATURE
Host and Perifpheral Emulation - Offers increased system reliability by emulating uninterrupted connection between host and keyboard/
mouse devices. This selectable feature enables devices to "keep alive" when switching between inputs.

APPLICATIONS
SW USB for Switching and Control
Extron SW USB switchers provide high performance switching and centralized control for KVM - Keyboard/Video/Mouse applications.
A single keyboard and mouse connected to the SW USB switcher allow access, monitoring, and control of multiple USB-enabled
devices from a remote location. Control centers, help desks, and equipment rooms often incorporate this approach for efficient AV
system management, enhanced security, energy savings, and to address space availability constraints within an area. The SW USB
provides integration flexibility for control of various peripheral devices in a wide variety of KVM environments.

SW USB with Interactive Whiteboards
Extron SW USB switchers are well suited for implementation in interactive whiteboard or smartboard applications for both corporate
and education environments. Classrooms and corporate training facilities often incorporate multiple computers in association with video
projection onto the board. Information written onto the whiteboard can be electronically communicated to the host computer via USB
connection for future use. SW USB Series switchers ensure that materials from laptops, desktop computers, servers, and various other
USB sources are readily available for whiteboard presentation.
