StarTech Secure 8-Port Dual-Monitor KVM Switch - DisplayPort - 4K 30Hz - NIAP 4.0 - CAC - CK4-P208C

The StarTech CK4-P208C is an 8-port secure KVM switch for controlling multiple systems from one workstation across two DisplayPort monitors at up to 4K 30Hz; its NIAP 4.0 certification, CAC support, and tamper protection suit security-conscious enterprise or government environments.

Recommended For

• Government, defense, and regulated-enterprise teams that need to switch between classified and unclassified computers while maintaining NIAP-certified separation between systems.
• IT administrators who operate up to eight DisplayPort computers or servers from one desk and want to share two monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse.
• Workstations that use Common Access Cards for smart-card sign-in and want one configurable CAC reader shared across connected systems.
• Security-conscious facilities that need a KVM with anti-tamper detection and visible or audible alerts if someone attempts to open the unit.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• At a secure operations desk, an analyst switches between up to eight connected workstations or servers while using the same keyboard, mouse, and two monitors; the KVM keeps the connected systems isolated from one another.
• In an environment that uses Common Access Cards, an operator uses the KVM’s dedicated CAC connection to log in to connected systems without moving a card reader between computers.
• An IT administrator managing several secure desktops or servers can switch the shared console between systems instead of maintaining a separate keyboard, mouse, and dual-monitor setup for each one.
• Where systems handle sensitive or classified information, an organization can use the NIAP-certified KVM to share a workstation console while keeping data paths between connected systems isolated.
• In a controlled facility where physical access to equipment matters, staff can use the tamper-protection features to detect an intrusion attempt; the unit is designed to disable functionality and alert users if tampering is detected.
