Four-port DVI KVM switch

The Avocent SC4PDV-001 connects four computers to a single DVI monitor, keyboard and mouse. It supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and a wide range of display standards from VGA to WUXGA and HDTV. Secure design with 60db port separation and NIAP certification protects data integrity. The unit operates reliably between 5° and 40°C.

Replaces multiple monitors and input sets

This switch removes the need for four separate displays and peripheral sets on a desk or in a rack. The jump is worth it when operators must manage several systems simultaneously without compromising signal isolation. Buffer clearance and encrypted firmware storage prevent data leakage between ports. Hot-key switching is eliminated in favour of dedicated controls.

Suits secure multi-system workstations

Ideal for environments where strict port isolation and certified security are mandatory, such as government or financial desks. Buyers who need more than four computer connections should look at a larger switch. Users requiring higher video resolutions or modern digital interfaces beyond DVI-I will need a different platform. The 1.75" height fits standard rack spacing.

Questions about this item

What rack space and depth does the 1.75" x 11" x 11" chassis require?

The unit is 1U high and 11 inches deep, so it fits a standard 19-inch rack with at least 11 inches of usable depth.

How do I connect the four computers and avoid the hot-key switching mistake?

Plug each computer's DVI-I video and USB cables into the four rear ports, attach one monitor to the single console port, then use the front-panel push buttons — not keyboard hot keys — to switch ports.

When should I check the encrypted firmware store and NIAP-certified buffer clearance?

Re-verify the encrypted firmware store and buffer clearance after any firmware update or when the unit is redeployed to a new security domain.
