Product Overview

The Sound Control Technologies USB3-1x2-NPS is a USB 3.0 1x2 switcher kit without a power supply or camera-specific power cable. It provides the core USB3-1x2 switch hardware and USB-B 3.0 host cables for installations where the power supply and camera power cable are being sourced separately or are already on hand. This is the base switching unit in the USB3-1x2 family.

Product Description

The USB3-1x2-NPS enables a single USB camera to connect to two host computers or codecs and switch between them in BYOD/BYOM conference room applications. Unlike other USB3-1x2 variants, the NPS variant excludes the power supply and camera-specific power cable — making it the appropriate choice for integrators who already have compatible power components or who need to source camera-specific power cables separately for an unusual camera model.

The kit includes the USB3-1x2 switch and USB-B 3.0 host cables. Power supply and camera power cable must be sourced separately. MSRP: $685. Country of origin: USA/Taiwan.

Key Features

  • 1x2 USB 3.0 Switching — Core switch hardware connecting one USB camera to two host computers or codecs.
  • No Power Supply Included — Designed for integrators sourcing power components separately or using existing infrastructure.
  • No Camera-Specific Power Cable — Camera power cable is sourced separately, providing flexibility for cameras with non-standard power requirements.
  • USB-B 3.0 Host Cables Included — Ships with USB-B 3.0 host cables for both host connections.
  • BYOD/BYOM Conference Room Ready — Core switching functionality for dual-host USB camera configurations.

Typical Applications

  • Conference room USB camera switching where power components are already available on-site
  • Integrator deployments sourcing power supplies and camera cables as separate line items
  • Installations with cameras requiring non-standard power cables not included in other USB3-1x2 variants
  • Commercial meeting spaces with existing power infrastructure compatible with the USB3-1x2 switch

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I choose the NPS variant over a USB3-1x2 kit that includes a power supply?
