Eight-port DVI KVM for secure environments
The Avocent SC8PDV-001 is an eight-port DVI KVM switch built for operators who must control multiple computers from a single console. It supports video resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 and works with VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA and QXGA monitors when adapters are used. The unit carries NIAP certification and uses custom-designed firmware to enforce controlled KVM switching.
Rack-mount installation with PS/2 cabling
The chassis measures 3.5 x 17.2 x 10.75 inches and weighs 9.5 lbs, fitting a standard 1U rack space. Each computer connects through a DVI-I video link and PS/2 keyboard and mouse cables, so cable routing must account for eight separate bundles. Buffer clearance and standard PS/2 protocol help prevent signal loss, but installers should verify cable lengths before mounting.
Suited for locked-down multi-system desks
This switch serves administrators managing eight DVI-equipped workstations in secure or regulated settings where NIAP certification is required. It is not intended for users who need USB peripheral switching, multi-monitor output from the console, or remote IP-based access. Buyers requiring DisplayPort, HDMI or USB console connections should evaluate other models.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the SC8PDV-001 is switching correctly after connecting eight computers and one monitor?
The front-panel LEDs show the active port; press the port-select buttons to cycle through all eight connections and confirm the 2560 x 1600 image appears without artefacts.
Which cables and adapters are included with the SC8PDV-001 and what must I purchase separately?
The unit ships with the KVM chassis only; you need eight DVI-I to PS/2 combo cables for the computers and a DVI monitor cable, plus any VGA or QXGA adapters for legacy displays.
Should I choose the SC8PDV-001 or a smaller-port model for my rack?
The SC8PDV-001 provides eight computer ports in a 3.5 x 17.2 x 10.75 inch, 9.5 lb chassis; select it when you need to manage eight systems from one console.
