Black Box SW4009A-USB-EAL KVM Switch - VGA USB W/cac EAL2+
Overview
The Black Box SW4009A-USB-EAL is a secure KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch designed for environments requiring high levels of data isolation and security, such as government or military installations. This unit allows a user to switch between two computers using a single set of peripherals (VGA monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, and CAC reader). Its EAL2+ certification signifies adherence to stringent security standards, ensuring that data cannot leak between connected systems. The SW4009A-USB-EAL is ideal for scenarios where maintaining strict air gaps between networks is critical, preventing unauthorized data transfer.
Compatibility
This KVM switch is designed to work with standard VGA monitors and USB HID (Human Interface Device) keyboards and mice. It includes dedicated ports for a Common Access Card (CAC) reader, ensuring compatibility with smart card authentication systems commonly used in secure government and enterprise networks. The switch supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 at 60Hz, suitable for most standard displays. It is compatible with most operating systems that support standard USB HID devices.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting the VGA and USB cables from each computer to the corresponding input ports on the KVM switch. The user's monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CAC reader then connect to the output ports on the switch. The unit is powered via a standard power adapter (included). Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the switch and the connected computers. The compact form factor allows for easy placement on a desk or within a rack with appropriate mounting accessories.
