Secure 2x8 KVM matrix

The Vertiv Cybex SCM185DPH-400 is a secure desktop matrix KVM switch that lets one operator control eight computers from two independent console ports. It supports UHD 4K resolution at 60 Hz through HDMI connections and includes integrated smart-card (CAC) reader support for authentication on any attached system. The unit meets Common Criteria Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device v.4.0 requirements.

Multi-domain operators only

This switch suits users who must move a single cursor and keyboard instantly between two separate security domains across eight target computers. It is not for buyers who need single-console KVM operation or who require DisplayPort native inputs instead of HDMI. Environments without smart-card authentication infrastructure will not use the CAC capability.

Dual-console 8-port capacity

The defining specification is the 2x8 port matrix: two independent user stations sharing access to eight computers with cursor-navigation switching. This capacity decides whether the unit matches the operator-to-computer ratio required by the installation.

Questions about this item

What monitors, keyboards and mice must I already have to use the 2x8 KVM with its ten ports?

Connect two UHD 4K displays at 3840x2160 60Hz via HDMI, plus one keyboard and one mouse; the switch then shares them across eight computers.

How does the SCM185DPH-400 interact with older PCs that only output 1080p over HDMI?

The unit accepts HDMI signals up to UHD 4K 60Hz and down-scales or passes through lower resolutions, so legacy 1080p sources work without extra adapters.

How can I verify the Cursor Navigation Switching is active after I set up the secure desktop matrix?

Move the mouse pointer across the screen edge; the focus should jump instantly to the next connected computer, confirming CNS operation.
