Black Box SS8P-KM-UCAC Secure KM Switch
Overview
The Black Box SS8P-KM-UCAC is a secure Keyboard and Mouse (KM) switch designed to isolate user input devices between multiple computers. This is critical in environments where data segregation is paramount, such as government, finance, or defense sectors. By physically isolating the USB HID (Human Interface Device) and audio channels, it prevents data leakage or cross-contamination between connected systems. The SS8P-KM-UCAC is built for secure environments requiring strict separation of computing resources, allowing operators to manage multiple workstations from a single set of peripherals without compromising security posture. Its black color ensures it blends into standard server rack or workstation setups.
Compatibility
This KM switch is designed to work with standard USB keyboards and mice, as well as 3.5mm audio jacks. It supports up to two computers, each connected via USB Type-A for keyboard and mouse, and a separate USB Type-A port for audio. The host computers require standard USB 2.0 ports for HID and audio data transfer. It is compatible with any operating system that supports standard USB HID devices, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting the host computers to the KM switch using provided USB cables for keyboard, mouse, and audio. The user's keyboard, mouse, and audio devices connect to the front-facing ports on the KM switch. Switching between computers is accomplished via front-panel buttons. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating, as it is designed for continuous operation.
