1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
[[[Undefined variable Variables. ]]] SC switches are field-proven, secure, KVM and KM switching solutions
with special support for government agencies. This switching system allows users to switch safely
between computers operating at different classification levels from a single set of peripherals, providing
continuous access to critical data. With multiple security features, the secure design prevents the
transfer of data between the connected computers, ensuring data security is not compromised.
WARNING! This product is equipped with active intrusion protection and tamper-evident seals.
Tampering with the switch or breaking/removing the seals will permanently disable it and void
the warranty. If the enclosure appears to have been tampered with or if all the port LEDs flash
continuously, please contact Technical Support.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Complete network
segmentation
Data flow is controlled and insulated from peripheral devices using optical data diodes. EDID emulators and internal firewalls
protect shared displays and prevent external memory leaks.
Protection from
shared resources
The switches are designed to securely operate, even when peripheral devices are vulnerable to signaling attacks. They do not
allow computer access to any shared resource and do not share controllable power sources.
Non-
reprogrammable
firmware
Custom firmware is not reprogrammable preventing the ability to remotely attack switch controllers.
Audio protection Microphone switching is not supported to prevent data leaks through audio ports.
CONSOLE USB
port protection
CONSOLE USB ports protect from the use of unsafe USBstorage devices. Unqualified devices are rejected when connected
through the switch even though keyboard and mouse data is passed through.
