Black Box Corporation KVS4-2008D 16-port dual-monitor DVI-I KVM switch

16-port DVI-I KVM switch

The Black Box KVS4-2008D is a secure KVM switch that lets one operator control up to 16 computers from a dual-monitor console. It supports DVI-I video connections on every port and provides USB 1.1 Type-A ports for keyboard and mouse sharing. The unit is certified to the NIAP Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device Version 4.0.

Suited for high-security multi-system desks

This switch fits environments where operators must manage many isolated workstations without crossing security domains. It handles dual-monitor DVI-I output at 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz and uses an external power supply. Buyers who need HDMI, DisplayPort or USB 2.0 peripheral support should look at other models.

Capacity and headroom

The 16 computer ports give ample room for large server rooms or trading floors, while the dual DVI-I outputs drive two high-resolution displays simultaneously. Video bandwidth tops out at 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz, so 4K or higher-refresh workflows will exceed the switch capability. USB 1.1 limits keyboard and mouse traffic to low-speed devices only.
