ATEN US3384i – Share USB devices across eight computers

The ATEN US3384i suits meeting rooms and shared workspaces where several computers need access to the same USB peripherals. It connects up to eight computers to four shared USB devices, helping teams switch equipment between hosts without moving each connection.

The essentials at a glance

Keep shared peripherals within reach

Connect up to four USB devices to the hub ports, then share them between as many as eight computers. This suits meeting setups where different users bring their own laptops but need access to common USB equipment.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. The ports also support USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, so you can use compatible older peripherals alongside newer ones.

Switch hosts with a clear status

Power-On Detection moves control to the most recently connected host. The corresponding port LED shows which computer currently has access to the shared devices.

You can turn this feature on or off with a long press of the pushbutton. This gives your team a straightforward way to manage switching behaviour during a meeting.

Integrate with room control

Two serial ports allow the switch to integrate with a control system, including ATEN Control System models VK1100A and VK211. A central control setup can help streamline AV and IT management in a meeting room.

The US3384i is plug-and-play and supports Windows, macOS and Linux. Its metal housing measures 80.6 × 200 × 25 mm and weighs 500 g.

• Check that your peripherals can connect to the four USB Type-A hub ports.
