KVM switch Belkin Universal 2nd Gen — 2-port secure KVM, HDMI/DisplayPort, 4K@60Hz, USB keyboard/mouse, black, rack-mount

The Belkin Universal 2nd Gen secure 2‑port KVM switch enables control of two computers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse while providing hardware‑level isolation between systems. Designed for environments that require strict separation of security enclaves, this KVM supports both HDMI and DisplayPort video signals with up to 4K Ultra HD (3840×2160) at 60 Hz, USB keyboard and mouse connectivity, and a rack‑mount form factor with universal AC input (100–240 V, 60 Hz). Built‑in optical data diodes and peripheral emulation prevent data leakage between channels while maintaining full peripheral functionality. The unit includes auto‑sensing combo video connectors and internal conversion to handle modern and legacy video sources without external adapters.

Advantages

Hardware isolation using optical data diodes and embedded peripheral emulation reduces risk of cross‑domain data transfer while allowing shared use of USB keyboards and mice. The combo HDMI/DisplayPort connectors and internal converters simplify deployment across mixed video environments and support 4K@60Hz output for high‑resolution displays. Active anti‑tamper features and an ultrasonic audio filter add layers of protection against advanced attack vectors. The switch is compatible with Belkin’s remote control with integrated keyboard to improve operator workflow and reduce switching errors. TAA‑compliant manufacturing and design target high‑security installations such as government, military and healthcare.

How to use

Install the KVM in a rack or place it on a stable surface and connect each computer to the input combo connectors using the appropriate Belkin video cables (DisplayPort, HDMI or DVI via the combo connector). Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the front or rear USB ports as required and attach the monitor to the output video connector. Power the unit from a 100–240 V AC source. Use the integrated channel selection controls or the compatible Belkin Secure KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard to switch active computers. The unit’s auto‑sensing and internal conversion handle signal adaptation between DisplayPort, HDMI and legacy sources without external converters.

Recommendations

For secure environments, ensure cabling is routed and secured according to your facility’s policies and use Belkin‑recommended cables for each video interface to maintain video quality and compatibility. Consider integrating the Belkin Secure KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard to reduce operator errors and improve enclave awareness. Regularly inspect anti‑tamper indicators and follow institutional procedures for firmware updates and physical security checks.
