Avocent SwitchView 4-Port Standard KM
Overview
In demanding, fast-paced environments, such as emergency and utility control
centers, professionals need to compare, integrate and use information from
multiple systems simultaneously and in real time. Too often, this leads to a
jumble of keyboards and mice on each users desktop that creates a costly,
cluttered and less than optimal work environment.
And for organizations where security is the top priority, including military
and government organizations, financial institutions and health plan providers,
carefully controlling desktop access is a must do.
The Vertiv Family of Desktop KM Switches
Vertiv Avocent SVKM120 and SVKM140 Desktop KM Switches
This family of desktop switches provides a host of productivity features to
simplify access to multiple sources of information in real time. A user can work
simultaneously with multiple displays and systems using just a single keyboard
and mouse.
Vertiv Cybex SCKM140 and SCKM145 Secure Desktop KM
Switches
For environments requiring high security, these desktop KM switches combine
the productivity features of the Avocent family with extensive high-security
capabilities. Users can securely access multiple computers through a single
switch.
The Vertiv family of KM switches delivers the ideal solution for streamlining
access to critical information from multiple systems while maintaining high
security. The Vertiv KM switches can support up to four systems with a single
keyboard and mouse. In addition, the switches can be easily configured to
support dual, triple or quad head monitor configurations, allowing the 4-port KM
switch to support up to 16 monitors at once.
Vertiv Avocent SVKM120 and SVKM140 Desktop KM Switches Drive Higher
Productivity at Lower Cost
With support for almost any desktop environment, Vertiv Avocent SV120 and
SV140 Desktop KM switches help your organization achieve greater productivity
and lower capital equipment costs. All this functionality is available in an
attractive console that occupies a space smaller than a keyboard and can be
easily mounted underneath the desktop.
- Cursor navigation switching lets users switch control between systems by
simply moving the mouse cursor from one display monitor to another. Both audio
and keyboard follow the cursor from one computer to the next.
- Instant mouse and keyboard switching via emulation assures zero delay when
switching between systems.
- Independent audio and USB switching gives users the ability to freeze
audio and USB devices to a specific channel so these feeds are maintained as
the cursor switches between system monitors.
- Managed copy and paste allows content to be copied from one system to
another. The user simply copies the content in one system, moves the cursor to
another systems monitor and pastes the content into the second system. Copy
and paste can be managed with built-in controls to specify what can be copied,
such as allowing a user to copy numbers only in a specific format.*
- High-speed mobile device charging port provides a quick way to charge
mobile phones and other devices.
- Pre-set display configurations are easily modified for specific
environments, enabling flexible assignment of USB devices for each
user

Access Information in Real Time without Sacrificing Security with
Cybex SCKM140 and SCKM145 Secure Desktop KM Switches
Regardless of size or IT resources, military and government departments,
financial firms, emergency control centers and many other businesses have strict
security requirements that must be followed. Where high levels of security are
required, the Cybex Secure Desktop KM switches offer secure information access
and exceptional control over the peripherals that can be used with a particular
system.
These switches are designed to meet the stringent specifications of the U.S.
government and certified to the latest NIAP protection profile for peripheral
sharing switches version 3.0. The Cybex series provides most of the productivity
features of the Avocent KM switches along with the following high-security
capabilities:
- Unique NUM Lock, CAPS Lock and Scroll Lock indicators. While the Cybex
series maintains unidirectional data flow, it also provides indicators that
alert users when the NUM Lock, CAPS Lock or Scroll Lock is on to improve ease
of use
- Complete USB device filtering. The types of USB devices that can be used
with a system can be restricted, such as allowing only a mouse and keyboard to
function on a target computer
- Peripheral isolation. A unidirectional optical data diode for each channel
assures data can flow from the USB device to the host computer only, providing
complete network isolation
- Always-on anti-tampering system. An active anti-tampering system and
holographic tampering-evident labels alert the user if someone has attempted
to physically penetrate the KM switch. The switch is permanently disabled once
physical penetration is detected.
- Support for USB authentication devices. A CAC port provides secure
connection to common access cards for authenticating users. An optional
dedicated peripheral port supports additional types of authentication devices,
such as facial recognition and fingerprint readers. Only Vertiv delivers a
dedicated peripheral port certified to the latest National Information
Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Protection Profile V3.0 for peripheral sharing
switches.
- Automated access prevention. The Cybex KM switch monitors all the devices
attached to it, ignoring access attempts by unauthorized USB devices, such as
flash drives or cameras
- Discrete processing paths. Isolated ports on the KM switch provide
discrete processing paths to each system, preventing data leakage, transfer or
crosstalk between adjacent ports. With these discrete paths, a single KM
switch can support a mix of unclassified and unsecured systems.
- Non-reprogrammable firmware. One-time programming takes place at
production only with no further modification allowed. Locked memory prevents
attempts to alter the switch by reprogramming the firmware
- Support for Bloomberg keyboard. Support for Bloomberg keyboards offers
secure, instantaneous switching. Dedicated Bloomberg functions and special
keys, such as audio, BSAT (Bloomberg Secure Access Technology) and LCD operate
only on the relevant Bloomberg system.
- No insecure keyboard buffering. Hardware-based peripheral isolation loads
all firmware on ROM with no keyboard buffering or memory. When data is
transmitted to or from the desktop, the Cybex KM switch will automatically
clear the buffer immediately after transmission, ensuring no data is ever left
in the buffer where it could be compromised.
