Black Box SS8P-SH-DVI-U Secure KVM Desktop Switch
Overview
The Black Box SS8P-SH-DVI-U Secure KVM Desktop Switch is designed for operators who need to control multiple computers from a single workstation. This unit facilitates secure, isolated access to different systems, preventing data leakage and unauthorized access. Its desktop form factor makes it suitable for individual operator stations in environments requiring strict security protocols, such as government, military, or financial institutions. The SS8P-SH-DVI-U model specifically offers DVI connectivity for video output, ensuring clear display of information from connected computers.
Compatibility
This secure KVM switch is engineered to connect to computers featuring DVI video outputs. It supports a single operator console with DVI video, USB keyboard, and USB mouse connections. Specific compatibility details for connected computers should be verified against the USB and DVI port standards supported by the SS8P-SH-DVI-U. It is designed for use with standard USB HID (Human Interface Device) keyboards and mice.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting the DVI video output from each computer to the corresponding DVI input on the switch, and connecting the USB keyboard and mouse to the operator console ports. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (sold separately). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating, as secure KVMs can generate heat during operation. Cable management is critical to maintain a clean and organized workspace.
