Belkin® Advanced 4-port Secure DVI-I KVM Switch with DCU User Manual
The Belkin Secure KVM Switch is the most advanced and secure
commercially available KVM Switch available today. Below is a
summary of some of the key security features incorporated into the
switch.
Dedicated Processors
The switch features a dedicated processor per computer port. This
keeps each computer running on different security levels physically
separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data
leakage between computers.
No Memory Buffer
The Switch does not have a memory buffer and does not have the
ability to store data. This prevents any keystrokes or other data
input from being unintentionally transferred as you switch between
computers, ensuring the integrity of your data.
Non-Reprogrammable Firmware
The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable,
preventing the ability to tamper with the KVM logic.
Unidirectional Data Paths
Optical diodes used in USB data paths provide high isolation and
prevent data leakage.
Heavy-duty Aluminum Enclosure
The Belkin Secure KVM uses one-piece aluminum enclosure to
protect the product from physical tampering and to minimize radiated
electromagnetic emissions that can be snooped or intercepted.
Active Always-On Anti-Tampering
Active always-on chassis anti-tampering system prevents the Belkin
Secure KVM electronic circuitry from being accessed and tampered
with by permanently disabling the product once tampering is
detected.
Tamper-Evident Label
A holographic security tamper-evident label is placed on the
enclosure to provide a visual indication if the Switch has been opened
or compromised.

Tamper-Proof Hardware
All integrated circuits are soldered directly to the printed circuit board
to prevent tampering with the components.
Protected Display Information
Protected DDC/EDID emulation prevents software weaknesses that
can cause data leakage while maintaining compatibility with the
console display.
USB Device Detection
Storage and other unsafe USB devices are rejected when connected
to the Switch. Only mouse, keyboard, and CAC reader data are
passed through.
Secure Packaging
“Tear away” packaging ensures secure delivery of the Switch as it is
routed to the end user. The recyclable packaging also breaks down
flat, simplifying the cleanup process.
EAL 4+ Evaluation (Canada)
The Belkin Secure KVM switch was evaluated in Canada to EAL 4+
level and is listed on the Common Criteria Portal

Belkin® Advanced 4-port Secure DVI-I KVM Switch with DCU User Manual
The Belkin Secure KVM was designed with the user in mind for
today’s IT environment. Below is a summary of some features
incorporated into the switch.
USB Support
The Switch is compatible with USB technology and supports
plug-and-play connectivity with USB computers, keyboards, mice,
and CAC readers.
DVI-I Support
The Switch supports both digital and analog video signals. Analog
signals are passed through, to support legacy VGA hardware, and
digital allows for technologies available today, as well as into the future.
Dual-Link DVI Support
The Switch supports video resolutions of up to 2560x1600. This
includes support for digital displays 24 inches and larger.
Audio Switching
Allows you to share speakers between computers.
Desktop Controller Unit (DCU) Support
Allows you to connect an optional DCU (sold separately) device to
control your KVM Switch from 50 feet away, which reduces desktop
clutter and increases work space. Please refer to the DCU user
manual for product functionality or contact Belkin for more details
regarding DCU product information and availability.
Belkin DCU Part Numbers: F1DN001R, F1DN002R,F1DN003R
Port Coloring
The included color chips can be inserted into each port-selector
button. Colors can be associated with an established network to
facilitate port identification and reduce user switching error.
Port Naming
The included network-name labels can be placed in the area
underneath the port-selector button to facilitate port identification and
reduce user switching error.
LED Indicators
Each port button number illuminates to indicate that the console
currently controls the corresponding computer. As a port selector is
pushed, the LED number will light up.
Rack-Mount Brackets
This product includes rack-mount brackets for rack-mounting
installations.
USB Connectors
High-retention USB connectors keep the USB connections secure and
tight, preventing accidental disconnections.
Increased Reliability
Using new, advanced anti-tampering battery with extremely low self-
discharge rate the life expectancy of the switch has been increased
dramatically to over 15 years.
Bloomberg Keyboard Support
The Belkin Secure KVM supports the Bloomberg Keyboard through
the Console PS/2 Keyboard jack.
