Know before you buy
NIAP 4.0 certification confirms that this KVM switch meets rigorous international security standards for protecting sensitive information. It ensures the device is physically and logically isolated, preventing data leaks between connected computers.
Yes, this KVM switch supports USB peripheral sharing. However, it is designed with strict security protocols to ensure that data cannot be transferred between the two connected systems.
The device features integrated anti-tamper switches that monitor the physical integrity of the unit. If an intrusion is detected, the switch immediately disables its functionality and triggers an alert to prevent unauthorized access.
While you can connect a monitor with a higher refresh rate, the KVM switch is capped at a 4K resolution at 30Hz. It will not support higher refresh rates or resolutions beyond these specifications.
No, this model does not support audio switching. It is specifically engineered for secure video and peripheral management between two computers.
This KVM switch uses DisplayPort interfaces for video connectivity. Ensure your computers and monitor are compatible with DisplayPort cables before setup.
