The Biamp EasyConnect USB 200 is a 2x1 USB switch moving one device between two host computers, letting a visitor's laptop take over the room's setup. It supports USB 2.0 and 3.0, switches to a second connected computer automatically or under control from a third-party system, and includes a built-in extender for longer cable runs. It suits BYOD meeting rooms across Doha and Lusail. Request a quote.
What the USB 200 does in a dedicated conference room
The EasyConnect USB 200 is a 2x1 USB switch made for video conferencing rooms that have a fixed in-room computer but still need to accept guest laptops. It has two USB 3.0 Type-B inputs for host computers and one USB 3.0 Type-A device port. A single USB device, such as a peripheral the room's conferencing setup relies on, can be routed to whichever computer is in use, so presenters do not have to swap cables at the table.
Both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are supported, which matters because many older peripherals and laptops still run on USB 2.0. It is a practical addition to any meeting space that needs more presentation flexibility without changing the main room computer.
Switching behaviour and control options
When a second computer is connected, the USB 200 can switch to it automatically, and this priority behaviour is configurable. Where the room already runs a control system, manual switching is supported through a third-party controller. The unit also provides one general-purpose input using contact closure on a 2-pin, 0.3-inch Euroblock connector.
Each switch cuts power to the connected device for two seconds. That pause is designed to give the device a stable, reliable reconnection to the newly selected computer.
Cable reach, size and power
- USB 3.0: up to 10 ft (3m) on each side of the switch
- USB 2.0: up to 17 ft (5m) on each side of the switch
- Dimensions: 23 mm high, 64 mm wide, 95 mm deep
- Weight: 75 g
- Power: 5V DC, 15W, with convection cooling
The built-in USB extender means the switch does not have to sit beside the room computer or the table laptop position. Its light, compact body suits placement under a conference table or in an AV cabinet, wherever the room's cable routing allows.
Where it fits in Qatar
In a ministry boardroom in West Bay, officials often arrive with their own laptops while the room computer runs the conferencing platform. The USB 200 lets a guest take over the shared USB devices without unplugging the room PC. In an Education City seminar room, lecturers and visiting researchers can present from their own machines in the same way. For a company in Lusail with teams in Doha and abroad, the fixed room setup stays in place while visiting presenters connect their laptops before each call.
What to plan before ordering
The rated operating range is 0 to 40 °C, with 10 to 90% humidity (non-condensing) and operation up to 2000 m altitude. Qatar summers can exceed 45 °C, so the switch should sit inside the air-conditioned meeting room, away from hot equipment cabinets and sunlit windows. Confirm the location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.
Measure the distance from the room computer to the table position, then check each USB cable against the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 limits. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check cable routes, mounting positions and control wiring. Quotations are usually returned within one working day. Schools, government entities and companies can issue a purchase order (LPO), and delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar.
