Adder AS-4RCU – Secure 4-Port KVM Remote Control Unit

Product Overview

The Adder AS-4RCU is a secure remote control unit that gives operators desktop push-button channel selection for ADDERView Secure KVM switches mounted under the desk or in a secure server rack. Compatible with switches in the ADDERView Secure range, this Adder secure KVM remote control keeps the switch itself out of reach while channel access stays at the operator's fingertips. For facilities standardizing on a remote control unit for secure KVM switching, the AS-4RCU separates physical switch placement from day-to-day operation.

Product Description

Security policy in classified and controlled environments often requires the secure KVM switch to be installed away from the operator — under the desk, in a lockable enclosure, or in a secure server rack. The AS-4RCU solves the resulting access problem: it provides direct push-button access to any channel from the desktop, connected to the ADDERView Secure switch via the supplied serial cable.

Operators select target computers with a single press, so workflows stay fast even when the switch hardware is physically inaccessible. The ergonomic desktop unit takes minimal space at the console position and suits multi-network desks where analysts move between domains throughout a shift.

Because the unit is compatible with all switches in the ADDERView Secure range, one accessory standard covers mixed deployments of secure desktop switches across a program. Integrators rolling out under-desk secure switch installations can specify the AS-4RCU on every position for a consistent operator experience. Pair it with ADDERView Secure switches from the Adder Technology collection at Creation Networks.
