overview
The StarTech D86A2-2-PORT-8K-KVM is a high-resolution DisplayPort KVM switch that lets you control two DisplayPort-equipped systems from a single console (monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB devices). It supports 8K @ 60 Hz as well as 4K @ 144 Hz/120 Hz video over DisplayPort 1.4, making it suitable for graphics-intensive environments, CAD workstations, media production labs, and engineering desks where high fidelity display output and streamlined control are required. The integrated USB hub supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices alongside USB 2.0 HID for keyboards/mice.
This unit is ideal for engineers, designers, and multi-system operators needing a reliable way to switch between two hosts with ultra-high resolution displays. It is not intended for shared multi-user KVM farms or multi-display matrix switching beyond two systems. Specifications are verified from official manufacturer and authorized distributor documentation.
