Belkin Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVM Switch – 8-Port Single Head with CAC Reader

Product Overview

The Belkin Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVM Switch (F1DN108KVM-UN-4) is an 8-port, single-monitor secure KVM built for government, military, and enterprise IT environments requiring NIAP PP4.0-validated isolation between classified network enclaves. This TAA-compliant secure KVM switch incorporates an integrated Common Access Card (CAC) reader per port, delivering DoD-standard smart card authentication at each connected computer without external card readers. It is the single-display counterpart to the dual-head model, suited for facilities where one monitor per operator is the standard deployment configuration.

Product Description

The F1DN108KVM-UN-4 addresses operational environments where operators require access to multiple classified or sensitive networks from a single workstation without risk of data cross-contamination. Optical data diodes on each of the eight channels enforce hardware-level one-way data paths between connected computers, preventing cross-domain leakage regardless of software state. Embedded peripheral emulation maintains constant keyboard and mouse presence on all inactive channels, eliminating timing-based side-channel exploits.

The 8th-order elliptical audio filter protects audio paths against ultrasonic data exfiltration, a critical safeguard in SCIF and compartmented environments. DisplayPort/HDMI combo connectors with internal auto-sensing conversion support DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI video sources at resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160) at 60Hz, without external video adapters or converters. This universal video compatibility allows the same secure KVM model to be standardized across heterogeneous IT infrastructure, from legacy DVI workstations to modern 4K display systems.

The front panel configurable enclave color coding maps to the optional Belkin KVM Remote Control with Integrated Keyboard, providing backlit per-channel identification to minimize operator error in high-security multi-domain environments. US-manufactured and fully TAA compliant, the F1DN108KVM-UN-4 supports desktop, rack-mount, and under-table deployments with always-on active anti-tamper protection throughout its service life.

Key Features

• NIAP PP4.0 Certified - Common Criteria validated to NIAP Protection Profile for Peripheral Switching Devices v4.0; meets current DoD and federal agency procurement requirements.
• 8-Port, Single-Monitor Configuration - Supports eight connected computers sharing a single operator display, keyboard, mouse, audio, and USB peripherals.
• Integrated CAC/Smart Card Reader - Per-port CAC reader enables DoD PIV and smart card authentication without separate card reader hardware on the desktop.
• Optical Data Diodes per Channel - Hardware-enforced unidirectional signal paths prevent inter-domain data leakage at the physical layer.
• Embedded Peripheral Emulation - Continuous emulation on all inactive ports blocks timing-based side-channel attacks targeting keyboard and mouse interfaces.
• 8th-Order Elliptical Audio Filter - Defends against ultrasonic data exfiltration through audio ports, required in SCIF-class deployments.
• Universal Video Combo Connectors - DisplayPort/HDMI combo inputs with internal DVI conversion support all major video standards at up to 4K/60Hz, no external adapters needed.
• Active Anti-Tamper, Always On - Continuous tamper detection with automatic lockdown on physical intrusion attempt.
• Configurable Enclave Color Coding - Per-channel LED color assignment on front panel and remote keyboard reinforces classification-level awareness for operators.
• TAA Compliant, US-Manufactured - Eligible for GSA Schedule and government contract vehicles; manufactured in the United States.
• Flexible Mounting Options - Desktop, rack-mount, and under-table installation supported with optional Belkin mounting accessories.
• Universal AC Input - Operates on 120V-230V AC for domestic and international deployments.

Typical Applications

• Federal agency and DoD workstations with single-monitor multi-domain access requirements
• Military intelligence and command workstations requiring CAC authentication across eight security enclaves
• SCIF and secure facility operator stations with NIAP PP4.0 mandates
• Government IT infrastructure standardization across large-scale multi-level security deployments
• Defense contractor secure facilities requiring TAA-compliant KVM procurement

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this model and the dual-head version?

The F1DN108KVM-UN-4 supports one monitor per operator (single head), while the dual-head model (F1DN208KVM-UN-4) drives two independent displays simultaneously. Both share the same 8-port count, NIAP PP4.0 certification, and CAC reader support.

Is the F1DN108KVM-UN-4 NIAP PP4.0 certified?

Yes. The unit holds Common Criteria certification to NIAP Protection Profile for Peripheral Switching Devices version 4.0, meeting current federal and DoD security requirements.

Does it have a built-in CAC reader?

Yes. An integrated Common Access Card reader is included for each of the eight input ports, eliminating the need for external USB CAC readers.

Is this product TAA compliant and eligible for government contracts?

Yes. US-manufactured and TAA compliant, the F1DN108KVM-UN-4 qualifies for GSA Schedule and other government contract procurement vehicles.

What video standards does it support?

Combo connectors support DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI sources with internal conversion, at resolutions up to 4K UHD (3840x2160) at 60Hz, without any external converters.

Can it be rack-mounted?

Yes. Supports desktop, rack-mount, and under-table installation configurations with optional Belkin mounting accessories.

What anti-tamper protections are included?

The always-on active anti-tamper system continuously monitors for physical intrusion and triggers a protective lockdown if tampering is detected.

What warranty is included?

A 1-year limited warranty is included. Belkin provides US-based free technical support.
