Belkin F1DN004MOD-KM-4 – 4-Port Modular Secure KM Switch PP4.0 with Remote

Product Overview

The Belkin F1DN004MOD-KM-4 is a 4-port modular secure KM (keyboard and mouse) switch certified to NIAP Protection Profile PP4.0, engineered for government and enterprise workstation environments where operators control multiple computers using a shared keyboard and mouse without a shared video output. This secure KM switch is the keyboard-and-mouse-only variant in Belkin's modular secure peripheral switch series, ideal for deployments where each computer connects to its own dedicated display but keyboard and mouse sharing is required across up to four isolated hosts. An included remote control enables hands-free port switching, supporting secure room configurations where direct access to the switch chassis may be restricted.

Product Description

In many government and intelligence community workstation configurations, each computer is connected to a dedicated monitor, eliminating the need for shared video switching. The F1DN004MOD-KM-4 addresses this architecture by providing secure, NIAP PP4.0-certified keyboard and mouse sharing across four isolated hosts without any video component. This reduces deployment cost and complexity compared to full KVM solutions in multi-monitor environments where each host already drives its own display.

Hardware data isolation is enforced at the same level as Belkin's full KVM switch lineup. Dedicated security microcontrollers per port scrub and re-generate all USB HID traffic, eliminating covert channel attack vectors through the keyboard and mouse interface. No electronic signal path exists between connected hosts at any point in the peripheral signal chain. The anti-tamper chassis meets physical security requirements for classified government spaces.

The modular I/O architecture allows port modules to be swapped for different USB connector configurations, providing procurement flexibility for large-scale government deployments. Port switching is controlled via front-panel pushbuttons or the included remote control. The unit requires no host-side drivers, operating as a standard USB HID device with Windows, Linux, and thin-client operating environments. The F1DN004MOD-KM-4 is TAA compliant and suitable for U.S. federal procurement through GSA schedule.

Key Features

• NIAP PP4.0 Certified — Meets the current U.S. government peripheral sharing switch protection profile, required for secure KM deployments in classified and multi-domain government environments.
• 4-Port KM-Only Configuration — Shares keyboard and mouse across four isolated host computers without a shared video path, designed for multi-monitor environments where each host uses a dedicated display.
• Included Remote Control — Enables port switching without physical access to the switch chassis, supporting secure room and workstation configurations where the switch may not be immediately within reach.
• Modular I/O Architecture — Field-swappable USB port modules allow future configuration changes without replacing the full chassis, protecting the procurement investment.
• Hardware Data Isolation — Dedicated security microcontrollers per port enforce unidirectional data flow and prevent any electronic cross-connection between host computers.
• USB HID Traffic Scrubbing — All keyboard and mouse signals are fully scrubbed and re-generated at each port switch event to prevent covert channel communication.
• Anti-Tamper Protection — Tamper-evident chassis with permanent lockout on unauthorized opening attempts, meeting physical security requirements for classified workspaces.
• TAA Compliant — Trade Agreements Act compliant for U.S. federal procurement via GSA schedule contracts.
• Driver-Free Operation — USB HID plug-and-play compatibility; no drivers or software required on host computers.
• Broad OS Compatibility — Operates with Windows, Linux, macOS, and thin-client environments.

Typical Applications

• Government space
• Commercial meeting space
• Multi-purpose room
• Training room

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a KM switch and a KVM switch?

A KM switch shares only the keyboard and mouse between connected computers. A KVM switch shares keyboard, video (monitor), and mouse. The F1DN004MOD-KM-4 is a KM switch, meaning each connected computer still uses its own dedicated display. This is the appropriate choice when each host already has its own monitor and only input device sharing is needed.

Is the F1DN004MOD-KM-4 approved for classified government use?

Yes. This switch is NIAP-certified to Protection Profile PP4.0 for Peripheral Sharing Switches, meeting the current U.S. government standard for secure keyboard and mouse sharing in classified and multi-domain environments.

Can I use this switch with any monitor?

Yes. Because this is a KM (keyboard/mouse only) switch with no video component, each computer connects directly to its own monitor independently of the switch. There are no video cable connections to the F1DN004MOD-KM-4.

Does the included remote control work from any distance?

The remote control is designed for desk and workstation use. Specific range specifications vary; consult the product datasheet for range details. It enables port switching without reaching the switch chassis on the desk or rack.

Is this product TAA compliant?

Yes. The F1DN004MOD-KM-4 is fully TAA compliant and available for U.S. federal procurement via GSA schedule contracts.

What operating systems are supported?

The switch is compatible with Windows, Linux, macOS, and thin-client environments as a standard USB HID device. No drivers are required.

What warranty does this product carry?

Belkin provides a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Belkin enterprise support for government and volume licensing warranty options.
