Black Box SS8P-SH-DP-U Secure KVM Desktop Switch

Overview

The Black Box SS8P-SH-DP-U Secure KVM Desktop Switch is engineered for environments demanding strict data isolation between secure and non-secure networks. This unit facilitates the secure operation of up to four computers from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console, ensuring that data cannot leak between connected systems. Its desktop form factor makes it suitable for individual workstations in government, defense, or financial sectors where data security is paramount. The SS8P-SH-DP-U model specifically supports DisplayPort video connections.

Compatibility

This KVM switch is designed to interface with standard USB keyboards and mice, and DisplayPort monitors. It supports connection to four separate computers, each requiring a DisplayPort video output and USB keyboard/mouse ports. It is intended for use with systems requiring physical and electrical isolation, such as those mandated by TEMPEST or Common Criteria security standards.

Installation Notes

Connect the provided DisplayPort and USB cables from each computer to the corresponding ports on the rear of the SS8P-SH-DP-U. Ensure that the power adapter is connected and the unit is powered on before connecting the console peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor). The switch features front-panel port selection buttons for easy switching between connected computers. For optimal security, ensure all connected computers are running operating systems and applications that meet the security requirements of your environment.
