ATEN 4-Port USB DVI Secure KVM Switch

The ATEN 4-Port USB DVI Secure KVM Switch (CS1184D) is designed to provide secure peripheral sharing for defense and intelligence environments. Compliant with PSS PP v3.0 (Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Switch, Version 3.0) and certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), this switch lets a single keyboard, mouse and DVI monitor control up to four computers while meeting strict security requirements. The unit supports 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160) at 30 Hz, includes USB connections for keyboard and mouse, is built in a metal housing and operates from an AC power source with a wide input voltage range.

Advantages

The CS1184D combines NIAP-certified PSS PP v3.0 compliance with a compact 4-port design to provide secure, hardware-enforced isolation between connected systems. It supports high-resolution video up to 4K at 30 Hz, uses standard USB ports for keyboard and mouse connectivity, and is housed in a durable metal chassis for reliable operation in demanding installations. The switch is RoHS compliant and suitable for environments that require regulated peripheral sharing.
