These devices enable seamless control of multiple computer systems through a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse setup, making them essential tools for both personal and professional environments.

The Belkin F1D5104T is a 4-port KVM switch, allowing users to connect and control up to four computers with ease. It features a compact design that is ideal for home and small office setups.

Additionally, the F1D5104T incorporates hotkey switching, enabling users to switch between connected computers with keyboard shortcuts, enhancing efficiency and convenience.

The F1D5104P model, similar to the F1D5104T, is also a 4-port KVM switch but with a key differentiation in its design.
