Topic: UCX II USB-B two split connection

I am using the UCX II in a rack with panels out.

For the convenience, I moved rear connections to the front rack panel.
Idea to have on the front panel USB DUrec, USB-B (for PC) and USB-A (for Ipad).
I used Neutrik NAUSB-W

Question:
Can I split USB to Host (USB-B) for two connections? (not for simultaneous use)
1. For CC mode
2. PC mode

Re: UCX II USB-B two split connection

If you want to use a common USB Y-cable from the market then probably not because these cables are splittetd not equally, one side is for power delivery only no data-transfer.
If you find a cable or build yourself the proper Y-cable then it should work, as you said, only one computer at the time.

Maybe an USB switch would work? I never used such an unit myself so can’t tell you if it properly works or not.
