What This Product Does

The CSV‑2511 is a bi‑directional USB‑C® switch, allowing flexible switching in two possible configurations:

  • Two USB‑C® source devices to one USB‑C® display, or
  • One USB‑C® source device to one of two USB‑C® displays

It supports USB‑C® DisplayPort™ Alternate Mode video, USB data transfer, and USB‑C® Power Delivery up to 100 W.

Only one connection path is active at a time. 

Important Compatibility Notice

Video resolution, refresh rate, data bandwidth, and power delivery performance are limited by the capabilities of the connected source device, display, USB‑C® implementation, and operating system.

The CSV‑2511 does not convert or extend the capabilities of connected devices.

For video output, the USB‑C® port on the source device must support DisplayPort™ Alternate Mode.
