FAQ
What does NIAP 3.0 certification mean for this KVM switch?
NIAP 3.0 certification indicates the switch has been independently tested and validated against the National Information Assurance Partnership's Protection Profile version 3.0. This certification ensures the product meets stringent security requirements for government and enterprise deployments, including verified protection against tampering, secure data isolation, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations.
How many computers can I connect to this KVM switch?
The Black Box SS4P-SH-HDMI-UCAC supports four computers simultaneously. A single local user can switch between these four systems using the KVM interface, accessing each computer's video output, USB peripherals, and audio through the centralized switch. This configuration is ideal for workstations managing multiple servers or specialized computing devices.
What video resolution does this switch support?
This switch supports HDMI video up to 4K Ultra HD resolution at 3840 x 2160 pixels with a 60Hz refresh rate. This high-resolution capability ensures compatibility with modern monitors and displays, delivering sharp imagery for detailed work in design, engineering, security monitoring, and other visual-intensive applications.
What security features protect against physical tampering?
Physical security features include tamper-evident hologram seals that show visible evidence of removal attempts, chassis intrusion sensors that detect unauthorized opening, and automatic keyboard data clearing that erases sensitive input if tampering is detected. These measures work alongside the non-reprogrammable ROM to create a hardened physical security envelope.
What is the purpose of the CAC port on this switch?
The CAC (Common Access Card) port enables integration with smart card authentication systems commonly used in government and secure enterprise environments. This advanced port is fully configurable, allowing organizations to implement personnel verification protocols that require physical card presence for system access, adding an additional layer of security beyond standard password protection.
What power requirements does this KVM switch have?
The switch operates on a 12-VDC power supply included in the package and accepts input voltage from 120V AC to 230V AC, making it compatible with standard North American and international power systems. This wide voltage range ensures reliable operation in various geographic locations and facility types without requiring additional power conditioning equipment.
