Product Features
Technical Overview
The CS1142DP4 delivers robust switching capabilities with dedicated USB and DisplayPort interfaces. It provides four USB ports and six DisplayPort connections to accommodate keyboards, mice, and dual monitors. The switch handles video signals up to 4K resolution, maintaining image clarity and color accuracy for professional and administrative workflows.
Power is supplied through a 100–240 VAC input with 50/60 Hz frequency compatibility, supporting deployment in global regions without external adapters. The internal architecture includes configurable device filtration for USB HID devices, allowing administrators to restrict peripheral types as needed. Port selection is managed via front-panel pushbuttons or an optional Remote Port Selector (RPS), eliminating software-based switching that could introduce vulnerabilities.
Key Product Advantages
The CS1142DP4 distinguishes itself with enterprise-grade security features that go beyond basic KVM functionality. Its compliance with PSD PP v4.0 ensures adherence to rigorous standards for peripheral sharing devices, making it ideal for regulated industries.
Always-On Intrusion Detection
A chassis intrusion detection system renders the switch inoperable if physical tampering is detected, preventing hardware-based attacks.
- Hardware-level security
- Automatic disablement on breach
- Tamper-evident design
Configurable Device Filtration
Administrators can filter USB HID devices to allow only approved peripherals, reducing the risk of malicious hardware insertion.
- Granular USB control
- Policy-based restrictions
- Enhanced endpoint security
Deployment / Use Cases
This secure KVM switch is engineered for scenarios where multiple computers must be accessed by authorized personnel without compromising data integrity. It is particularly effective in environments that handle sensitive information or require audit trails for hardware usage.
Common deployments include government offices, financial institutions, healthcare data centers, and industrial control rooms. The CS1142DP4 allows operators to switch between secure and non-secure systems while maintaining physical separation, reducing the need for duplicate peripherals and minimizing workspace clutter. Its desktop design facilitates integration into existing deskside or rack-mounted setups, supported by the included power cord and user instructions.
Secure Workstation Consolidation
Enables a single user to control both classified and unclassified systems from one desk, with hardware-enforced access controls.
Regulated Industry Compliance
Meets PSD PP v4.0 requirements for peripheral sharing, assisting organizations in fulfilling security certifications and audits.
Physical Profile
The CS1142DP4 features a compact desktop enclosure measuring 2.58" (65.50 mm) in height, 6.45" (163.90 mm) in width, and 13.19" (335 mm) in depth. Its approximate weight of 2.07 kg ensures stability during operation while remaining portable for reconfiguration. The form factor is optimized for placement under monitors or within equipment racks using optional mounting accessories, providing flexibility in space-constrained environments.

FAQ
What does PSD PP v4.0 compliance mean for this KVM switch?
PSD PP v4.0 (Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device, Version 4.0) is a security standard that defines requirements for devices sharing peripherals between computers. Compliance ensures the CS1142DP4 includes hardware and software safeguards like intrusion detection and device filtration to prevent unauthorized access, making it suitable for environments with strict data-protection policies.
How many computers and users does this KVM switch support?
The ATEN CS1142DP4 supports two computers and one local user. This configuration allows a single operator to control both systems from one set of peripherals and displays, streamlining workflows in secure or multi-system setups without compromising access controls.
What video resolution and display outputs are supported?
This switch supports a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K Ultra HD) across dual displays. It includes six DisplayPort connections to accommodate monitors, ensuring high-quality visual output for professional applications that require detailed imagery or multi-screen arrangements.
How does the chassis intrusion detection feature work?
The always-on chassis intrusion detection system monitors the physical integrity of the switch. If tampering is detected, such as an unauthorized opening of the enclosure, the system automatically renders the KVM switch inoperable. This hardware-level security measure prevents malicious access to internal components and protects connected systems from hardware-based attacks.
What is included in the package with the CS1142DP4?
The package contains the CS1144DP4C 4-Port USB DisplayPort Dual Display Secure KVM Switch with CAC, one power cord, and user instructions. These items provide everything needed for initial setup and operation, with the CAC (Common Access Card) support enhancing security in government or enterprise deployments.
What power requirements does this KVM switch have?
The CS1142DP4 operates on an input voltage range of 100–240 VAC with frequency compatibility of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. This universal power design allows deployment in various regions without additional adapters, supporting flexible installation in offices, data centers, or industrial sites worldwide.
