Product Features
Technical Overview
Secure Architecture
The switch enforces unidirectional data flow with isolated channels per port, ensuring that connected computers cannot communicate with each other. Active chassis intrusion detection and tamper-evident seals provide physical security, while soldered integrated circuits resist component-level tampering.
- Isolated channel per port prevents cross-computer data leakage
- Active chassis intrusion detection disables the switch if compromised
- Tamper-proof hardware with soldered components
Video and Interface Support
Dual DisplayPort and HDMI interfaces deliver 4K UHD resolution at 3840 x 2160, maintaining high-quality visuals across both displays. The 19 USB ports include a dedicated port for CAC and biometrics readers, supporting secure authentication workflows.
- Supports DisplayPort and HDMI video interfaces
- 19 total USB ports with dedicated secure peripheral port
- Includes DP to HDMI adapters and HDMI to DP cables in package
Key Product Advantages
This KVM switch stands out with its validated security profile and controlled access methods, making it ideal for sensitive computing environments where standard switches would introduce risk.
Validated Security Controls
NIAP certification to PP4.0 ensures the switch meets rigorous standards for peripheral sharing devices. Security features include port isolation, intrusion detection, and tamper-evident seals that provide visible indicators of access attempts.
- NIAP-certified to Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device v4.0
- Tamper-evident seals and active intrusion detection
- Unidirectional data flow prevents data leakage between ports
Controlled Port Selection
Keyboard hotkeys and on-screen display methods are disabled to enhance security. Port selection is managed exclusively via physical push-buttons or an optional remote selector, preventing unauthorized switching through software or keyboard commands.
- Port selection via push-button or remote selector only
- OSD and hotkey methods disabled for enhanced security
- Remote selector option for flexible control placement
Deployment / Use Cases
The GCS1428TAA4C-UN is engineered for deployment in controlled environments where multiple secure computers must be accessed from a single console without compromising data integrity. Its security features and compliance certifications address specific regulatory and operational requirements.
Common use cases include government secure workstations, financial trading floors, research laboratories handling sensitive data, and industrial control rooms where access must be audited and contained. The switch's support for CAC and biometrics readers integrates with existing identity verification systems.
Government and Regulated Procurement
TAA compliance ensures eligibility for U.S. government purchasing under the Trade Agreements Act. The switch's security certifications and tamper-resistant design meet the requirements for handling controlled unclassified information and other sensitive data.
Multi-Computer Secure Consoles
Operators managing multiple secure systems—such as analysts, dispatchers, or control room personnel—can consolidate access to eight computers from one keyboard, mouse, and dual-display setup. The isolated channels ensure that data from one system cannot leak to another.
What's in the Box
The package includes all necessary components for immediate deployment, with cables and adapters provided to support both DisplayPort and HDMI connections.

FAQ
What security certifications does this KVM switch have?
The IOGEAR Secure GCS1428TAA4C-UN KVM switch is NIAP-certified to Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device v4.0 (PP4.0), which validates its security controls for preventing data leakage and unauthorized access. It also complies with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), making it suitable for U.S. government procurement. These certifications ensure the switch meets rigorous standards for use in controlled environments.
How many computers and displays can this switch support?
This KVM switch supports up to eight computers and allows a single local user to control them across two displays. It provides dual DisplayPort and HDMI video interfaces, enabling simultaneous output to two monitors at 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160). The switch consolidates access to multiple systems from one keyboard, mouse, and dual-display console.
What video resolutions and interfaces are supported?
The switch supports a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) and is compatible with both DisplayPort and HDMI interfaces. It includes DP to HDMI adapters and HDMI to DP cables in the package to facilitate connections between different video standards. This ensures high-quality visual output across the two supported displays.
How does the switch prevent data leakage between connected computers?
Data leakage is prevented through isolated channels per port, which enforce unidirectional data flow. This means data can only travel from the connected computers to the console, not between the computers themselves. Combined with security features like active chassis intrusion detection and tamper-evident seals, the switch ensures that sensitive information remains contained within each system.
What methods are available for switching between computers?
Port selection is managed exclusively via physical push-buttons on the switch or an optional remote selector. To enhance security, on-screen display (OSD) and keyboard hotkey methods are disabled, preventing unauthorized switching through software or accidental keystrokes. This controlled access method aligns with the switch's security-focused design.
What is included in the package with the KVM switch?
The package includes the Secure GCS1428TAA4C-UN KVM Switchbox, a power cord, two DP to HDMI adapters, sixteen 6-foot HDMI to DP cables, a user guide, and a warranty card. These components provide everything needed for setup and support both DisplayPort and HDMI connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of computers and displays.
