FAQ
What does NIAP PSD 4.0 certification mean for this KVM switch?
NIAP PSD 4.0 certification means this KVM switch has been independently tested and validated to prevent all data transfer or leakage between connected systems. It ensures complete isolation with no internal memory or storage that could retain or share information, making it suitable for handling sensitive or classified data in government, military, and high-security enterprise environments.
How many computers and monitors can I connect to this KVM switch?
The CK4-PM204C supports up to four DisplayPort computers as inputs and connects them to four HDMI monitors as outputs. This configuration allows you to control all four computer systems from a single keyboard and mouse while viewing each on its own dedicated monitor, maintaining complete physical separation between the connected devices.
What is the purpose of the Common Access Card (CAC) port on this switch?
The dedicated CAC port passes smart card authentication signals through the KVM to connected systems, enabling secure login without requiring individual card readers on each computer. This allows IT professionals to manage secure access centrally while maintaining the security benefits of smart card authentication across multiple systems in high-security environments.
How does the tamper protection system work on this secure KVM?
The tamper protection system uses anti-tamper switches that detect physical intrusion attempts. If someone tries to open the unit, the switches immediately disable all KVM functionality and trigger both visual and audible alerts. Additionally, a tamper-evident seal provides clear visual indication if the KVM has been previously opened, ensuring physical security integrity is maintained.
What video resolution and refresh rate does this KVM switch support?
This secure KVM switch supports 4K resolution at 30Hz refresh rates, with a maximum video resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. The DisplayPort to HDMI conversion maintains this resolution across all four connected monitors, providing clear visual output while preserving the secure analog signal transmission between isolated computer systems.
What power requirements does this KVM switch have and what's included?
The switch requires 12VDC input power and comes with a universal power adapter in the package.
