Secure 8-Port KVM Switch
The Black Box KVS4-1008DX is an 8-port single-monitor KVM switch certified to NIAP 4.0 standards. It enables secure control of eight connected computers from a single DVI-I console. The integrated CAC support allows smart card authentication for each attached system. This unit suits government and defence environments where data separation is mandatory.
External Power and Silent Operation
The switch draws power from an included 12 VDC wall-mount supply (ICP36-120-3000) equipped with US, EU, UK and AU adapter clips. With no internal fans, the device operates silently in noise-sensitive rooms. Rubber feet are pre-attached for stable desktop placement. The external power brick keeps heat away from the switching electronics.
Replaces Unsecured Multi-Port Switches
This unit replaces non-certified KVM hardware when NIAP 4.0 compliance becomes a procurement requirement. The jump is worth it when a single operator must manage eight isolated networks without cross-domain leakage. It does not serve setups needing dual-monitor output or USB peripheral switching beyond CAC readers. Buyers requiring more than eight ports must cascade additional certified units.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the included 12 VDC wall-mount supply and its US, EU, UK, AU adapter clips to power the KVS4-1008DX?
Plug the ICP36-120-3000 supply into the KVM's 12 VDC input, then snap the correct regional clip onto the supply's prongs for your outlet. The four rubber feet are already fitted, so place the unit on a flat surface before cabling.
What ongoing maintenance or part replacement does the KVS4-1008DX require after deployment?
No scheduled maintenance is defined for the switch itself. The external 12 VDC power supply (ICP36-120-3000) is the only field-replaceable component; keep a spare supply on hand in case of failure.
What is the first limit reached when the KVS4-1008DX runs continuously under full 8-port load?
The NIAP 4.0 certification governs the security boundary, so the first sustained-use limit is the certified assurance level — operation beyond the evaluated configuration would void the NIAP 4.0 standing.
