KVM switch Belkin F1DN004MOD-KM-4 USB ports Aluminium Black

The Belkin F1DN004MOD-KM-4 is a high-performance secure modular KM switch designed to streamline control over multiple computers using a single keyboard and mouse setup. Housed in a durable aluminium chassis, this device provides a compact solution for managing complex IT environments while maintaining strict security protocols. It utilizes advanced optical data diodes and peripheral emulation to ensure that data remains isolated between connected systems, preventing unauthorized access or cross-contamination between security enclaves.

Advantages

This switch offers a significant advantage in space-constrained environments due to its minimal footprint, which is the smallest available for a 4-port KM device. The inclusion of a remote control allows for flexible placement, helping to declutter workspaces while maintaining full operational control. Furthermore, the device is certified to the NIAP Protection Profile 4.0, ensuring it meets the most rigorous cybersecurity standards required by government, military, and healthcare sectors. The modular design supports various mounting options, including VESA and under-desk configurations, providing versatility for professional workstation setups.

Suitable for

• Government and military IT infrastructure
• Healthcare facilities requiring secure data handling
• High-security command and control centers
• Professional workstations managing multiple security enclaves

When it may not be suitable

This device is specifically engineered for secure keyboard and mouse switching and does not support video signal switching. If your workflow requires a single monitor to display output from multiple computers, this unit will not fulfill that requirement on its own.

Key specifications

• Connectivity: USB Type-A ports
• Security Certification: NIAP Protection Profile 4.0
• Housing Material: Durable aluminium
• Power Input: 100-240V AC
• Control: Remote control included
• Mounting: VESA and under-desk compatible

How to use

To set up the switch, connect your keyboard and mouse to the designated USB ports on the device. Connect each computer to the switch using the appropriate cables. Once connected, the switch manages the peripheral signals, allowing you to transition between systems seamlessly. Use the provided remote control to switch focus between the connected computers as needed. Ensure all cables are securely seated to maintain the integrity of the peripheral emulation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your security requirements align with NIAP Protection Profile 4.0 standards.
• Ensure your setup requires keyboard and mouse switching only, as this model does not support video switching.
• Check available desk space to determine if VESA or under-desk mounting hardware is required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal security and performance, ensure that all connected computers are properly grounded and that only authorized peripherals are used. Regularly check for firmware updates to maintain compliance with the latest security standards.
