KVM Switchboxes

Belkin Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVM Switch Series

Designed to deliver a streamlined user experience when working across security enclaves, Belkin's Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVM switches meet the latest in Common Criteria and NIAP Protection Profile for Peripheral Switching Devices version 4.0 requirements. Compatible with the optional Belkin KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard, the Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVMs elevate the user experience while vastly improving enclave awareness and minimizing operator errors. The keyboard combined with a variety of mounting options from Belkin helps declutter the desk without jeopardizing operator control. Optical data diodes and embedded peripheral emulation allow operators to safely share peripherals across multiple security enclaves without exposing potential vectors for attack. Innovative video combo connectors combined with auto-sensing and internal converters make the Universal 2nd Gen SKVM Series compatible with modern and legacy systems, eliminating the need for external converters and their inherent cost and compatibility problems. Always on, active anti-tamper and some of the most advanced protections against ultrasonic audio attacks round out the Universal 2nd Gen SKVMs. US-Manufactured and TAA-compliant, these secure KVM series are ideal for use in IT environments that demand rigorous cybersecurity provisions-including government, military, and healthcare applications.

The Belkin Difference

• Certified for NIAP Protection Profile 4.0 to meet the highest security standards
• Universal video compatibility accommodates modern and legacy systems and monitors

Meets the Highest Standards for Cybersecurity

Ideal for highly sensitive applications that demand isolation between different network security enclaves. The Belkin Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVM Switches utilize optical data diodes and peripheral emulation on each channel to help prevent data leakage between computers while maintaining strict air-gap isolation, even when sharing peripherals. An 8th order elliptical audio filter protects against ultrasonic attacks.

Universal Video Compatibility With Combo Connector and Internal Conversion

DisplayPort/HDMI combo connectors on each input and output allow the same KVM to accommodate systems with DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI video outputs and modern and legacy monitors, eliminating the need, cost, and uncertainties with external converters. This flexibility enables IT managers to deploy the same, secure KVM switch across their network and prolong the useful life of the KVM simply by matching the appropriate Belkin cable with each connected system and monitor. Cutting-edge video performance delivers up to 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh on each display.

Belkin KVM Remote Control With Integrated Keyboard Elevates the User Experience

The Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVMs are compatible with Belkin's innovative KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard. The remote control combines channel selection with a backlit mechanical keyboard that mimics the enclave color codes for each channel, minimizing operator errors. The ability to control the KVM via the remote combined with Belkin's mounting options help enhance user experience and efficiency by decluttering the desk.

The iPath Controller helps to build and manage an Agility IP-Based KVM Switching and Extension Network. The controller connects multiple Agility extender units and allows to combine cross-point switching and point-to-point extension to build a KVM matrix system that works over a local area network (LAN). The iPATH management system controls transmitters, receivers, users, passwords, and access rights over a single IP network.

If combined and managed by iPath, Agility transmitter and receiver units allow multiple users to access multiple host computers hosted in a secure, central location. The iPATH Agility Controller centrally manages these connections. Using the intuitive iPATH web-based interface, one or more administrators can manage potentially thousands of users who are interacting with an almost unlimited number of devices.

With support for pixel-perfect HD video, audio, USB, and serial signals, the IP-based Agility KVM matrix switching system is extremely flexible in terms of adding additional user stations and computers as the need arises. Since it uses standard Ethernet protocol (i.e. a managed IP switch) to operate, no proprietary technology is used to enable switching. This facilitates both the implementation and future management of the KVM network.

Easy to Configure, Deploy, and Operate
iPATH operates as a self-contained compact server (including its own DHCP server) unit that can be situated anywhere within your network of Agility devices. It is supplied pre-loaded and is straightforward to deploy, requiring only a network connection and a power input to begin operation. All configuration of your Agility local units (channels), remote units, and users are performed using the intuitive iPATH browser interface via a network-connected computer.

Each Channel is a Virtual Transmitter
In most cases, video, audio, and USB streams will originate from a single transmitter. However, with iPATH, you can arrange for the video and USB streams to come from one source, and audio to stream from another source. You could also have two channels coming from a host computer with different access rights.

Groups Facilitate Administration
To accommodate potentially large numbers of users and devices, iPATH uses a system of groups: User Groups, Receiver Groups, and Channel Groups. Groups enable the system administrators to apply collective settings to all members, and for those members to benefit from settings and permissions in other groups where appropriate. This saves administrators time.

Active Directory Support
To streamline administration further, iPATH supports Active Directory. By synchronizing with an LDAP/Active Directory server, users' details (including usernames, passwords, and group memberships) can be securely synchronized from existing databases. This minimizes initial configurations and streamlines ongoing updates.

Administration Rights
System administrators are able to add, edit, and remove users, passwords, and access rights via the Agility iPATH Controller. Also, the admin can designate a hotkey sequence that users use to log in to the system. Once users are logged in, they are able to see a list of target computers that are available to them. The admin can see who is actively logged into the system, and also force a user to switch to a specific target.

The Agility IP-Based KVM Switching and Extension system incorporates a management system to scale from a point-to-point extension and switching system to a digital KVM matrix system that works over a local area network (LAN). The iPATH management system controls transmitters, receivers, users, passwords, and access rights over a single IP network.

The Agility system uses standard Ethernet protocol to operate. Since Agility operates over a LAN, it does not need to support encryption; no outside access is granted. The network should support IGMP snooping, which reduces unwanted traffic that would slow down the network.

To streamline administration further, iPATH supports Active Directory. By synchronizing with an LDAP/Acitve Directory server, users details (including usernames, passwords, and group memberships) can be securely synchronized from existing databases. This minimized initial configurations and streamlines ongoing updates.

Administration Rights The admin is able to add, edit, and remove users, passwords, and access rights via the Agility controller unit. The admin can designate a hotkey sequence that users use a login. Once the user is logged in, they are able to see the target computers that are available to them. The admin can see who is actively logged into the system, and also force a user to switch to a computer port.
