Belkin KVM Switch

Belkin® KVM switches offer control of multiple PCs from a single console, reducing clutter. They eliminate the need for multiple computing accessories, such as monitors and keyboards, saving you desk space and associated costs. Most models utilize unidirectional data flow for enhanced cybersecurity. Built with a sturdy chassis, these devices are durable and resist physical tampering. With local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) support, an IP KVM switch enables remote access to connected devices. The Belkin OmniView™ KVM switch has a dedicated daisy-chain port that allows expansion without using your PC ports. Accessories such as a mounting bracket let you install the switch under your desk, keeping your workstation free from clutter.

Belkin KVM Switches Offer Increased Convenience

o Belkin KVM switches come uniquely designed to save rack space in your server room. With a unique plug and play design, a KVM switch also saves you installation time. An integrated mounting track lets you install the switch in varying locations. A USB display port KVM switch with an HDMI® port transmits video signals in ultra-high definition (UHD) resolution. Many audio/video switches often support cross-platform systems, including VGA video interface, DVI-D and DVI-I technology, making them versatile. Equipped with a programmable auto-scan function and multiple hotkeys, some offer continuous server monitoring for reducing downtime. A KVM switch enables you to manage different PCs or servers using a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse. Most Belkin KVM switches have built-in USB ports for connecting your peripherals, eliminating the need for a USB hub. Others come with an on-screen display (OSD) interface for seamless management. Embedded with flash-upgradable firmware, they ensure consistent compatibility. Monitor device status easily using built-in LED lights that display accurate operational status. Models with customizable port coloring and naming facilitate easy identification. Hot-swapping support lets you quickly switch between ports without keyboard or mouse delay.

Belkin Secure KVM Solutions Provide Enhanced Data Security

A Belkin secure KVM switch comes with dedicated processors and emulators for each port, avoiding data leaks between computers. Its isolated ports and unidirectional data paths with optical diodes prevent peripherals from breaching your system. Most secure KVM switch modules come with internal electrical sensors that make the device nonfunctional when opened. With secure holographic labeling, they offer a visual indication of tampering. Their display security and USB device detection deter unauthorized peripheral usage.

Cables and Extenders Simplify Installation

Belkin micro-cabling technology reduces cable bulk for a neat computing setup. Coaxial cables equipped with a ferrite bead deliver crisp images without electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Some cables and extenders come with double shielding and PVC molding, minimizing loss of data.

KVM Switch Accessories Augment Performance

Accessories such as a Belkin LCD desktop controller unit come with a convenient interface for ease of use. A customizable layout lets you program channel names for real-time operational status. With a built-in microSD™ slot, you can save and load configurations. A power distribution unit (PDU) acts as a surge protector, preventing short circuits, and a common card reader (CAC) with broad smart card compatibility enhances security.
