Description

Black Box SW2006A-USB-EAL KVM Switch

Overview

The Black Box SW2006A-USB-EAL is a secure KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch designed for environments requiring strict isolation between connected computers. This unit allows a single user to control multiple computers from one workstation, ensuring that data cannot flow between them. It is particularly suited for government, military, or financial institutions where Common Criteria EAL2+ and EAL4+ security certifications are mandatory for peripheral sharing devices. The SW2006A-USB-EAL model specifically supports VGA video and USB connectivity.

Compatibility

This KVM switch is designed to work with standard VGA monitors and USB keyboards and mice. It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, as it presents itself as a standard HID (Human Interface Device) and video output device to each connected computer. Its design ensures no direct data path between computers, making it suitable for systems where one machine might be air-gapped or on a different security network.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting the VGA and USB cables from each computer to the corresponding ports on the KVM switch. A separate VGA monitor and USB keyboard/mouse connect to the user console ports. The unit requires no software installation on the connected computers. Power is supplied via an external adapter (sold separately), which is crucial for maintaining the isolation between systems. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the switch and the connected computers.
