Belkin 2-Port Single Head HDMI Modular Secure KVM Switch PP4.0 W/ Remote
Discover the Belkin Secure Modular KVM Switch Series, engineered for highly secure environments where sensitive peripherals must be isolated from host systems. Built around a compact, modular design and backed by Common Criteria and NIAP Protection Profile version 4.0, this Belkin 2-Port Single Head HDMI Modular Secure KVM Switch delivers trusted, uncompromising control. With a remote included for convenient, hands-free switching and a small footprint ideal for data centers, government facilities, and secure workstations, it makes secure peripheral sharing both practical and scalable. Whether you’re consolidating two secure workstations or enabling rapid, fail-safe access to two host systems, this KVM switch keeps your input devices and display channels isolated, tamper-resistant, and easy to manage in demanding environments.
- Security and isolation at the core: This Belkin Secure Modular KVM Switch Series is designed to meet stringent Common Criteria and NIAP Protection Profile version 4.0 requirements, delivering robust isolation between host systems and connected peripherals. By separating management and peripheral switching from the host environment, it minimizes risk and helps maintain a trusted computing boundary in high-security workplaces. The modular approach ensures that peripheral switching devices operate within a clearly defined security boundary, reducing the chance of data leakage or cross-contamination between connected machines.
- Modular, scalable architecture: The modular design of Belkin’s Secure Series provides the flexibility to adapt to evolving security needs without sacrificing desk space or performance. This 2-port, single-head solution is built to integrate with other Belkin secure modules, enabling secure expansion as your environment grows. The modular approach simplifies deployments in secure labs, government facilities, and enterprise environments where space is at a premium and security requirements can change over time.
- HDMI precision in a compact form: As a 2-port, single-head HDMI KVM switch, it delivers reliable video and peripheral sharing with a focus on signal integrity in a secure package. The HDMI interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of displays and consumer/professional-grade monitors, while the compact footprint keeps your secure work area uncluttered. This setup is ideal for secure workstations where a single display must be shared between two secure hosts without compromising the isolation of each system.
- Remote control for seamless switching: Included with the unit is a remote control that enables effortless, on-demand switching between the two connected host systems. This feature minimizes direct physical interaction with the switch in sensitive environments, helping to preserve the security boundary and maintain strict control over access to peripheral devices. The remote provides a quick, non-intrusive method to toggle active hosts during operations, maintenance, or security protocols.
- Small footprint with robust practicality: The smallest form factor available in its class ensures a secure, space-efficient solution for secure desks, cabinet drawers, and data centers. The combination of a compact chassis, proven security features, and straightforward management makes this Belkin KVM switch a practical choice for teams that require reliable, secure equipment without sacrificing usability or performance.

How to install Belkin 2-Port Single Head HDMI Modular Secure KVM Switch PP4.0 W/ Remote
- Prepare your workspace by ensuring you have two HDMI-equipped hosts, a display with an HDMI input, and USB keyboards/mice or other USB peripherals you wish to share.
- Connect the KVM switch’s HDMI output to the monitor using a standard HDMI cable. This establishes the single-head display path from the switch to the display.
- Connect each host computer to the KVM switch’s input ports using HDMI cables for video and USB cables for peripheral control. Ensure that each host’s USB connections are routed to the appropriate USB ports on the KVM switch to enable seamless peripheral sharing.
- Attach any additional USB peripherals you want to share across both hosts to the KVM switch’s USB ports. This ensures that you can access keyboards, mice, or other USB devices from either host through the switch.
- Power up the display, hosts, and the KVM switch (if required by the model). Use the included remote control to switch between hosts, verifying that video and peripherals are correctly routed for each system.
- Test switching in routine operation to confirm that the correct host is actively driving the display and that peripheral devices follow the active host. If needed, perform a quick hardware check to ensure all cables are securely seated and the remote control is functioning properly.
