Raritan 4-Port Single Head SecureSwitch with NIAP PP4.0 Certification, DP Display and CAC Support

The Raritan 4-Port Single Head SecureSwitch is crafted for government, military, and intelligence environments where secure, productive access to multiple systems is non-negotiable. This NIAP PP4.0 certificated peripheral sharing switch delivers total isolation between connected computers while enabling authorized users to work across multi-host setups with ease. Featuring DisplayPort (DP) support and CAC compatibility, it combines rock-solid security with modern usability, ensuring that sensitive information remains compartmentalized without compromising operational efficiency. Whether you’re coordinating sensitive operations, conducting mission-critical analyses, or managing multi-classification workloads, this SecureSwitch keeps data paths clear, auditable, and compliant with stringent security policies.

• Enhanced Security and NIAP Certification: The SecureSwitch is engineered to align with NIAP PP4.0 standards, delivering robust, auditable isolation between each connected host while preserving smooth user workflows. Its architecture enforces strict control of I/O paths and port-level containment, preventing data leakage across systems operating at different classification levels. For organizations pursuing rigorous compliance, the device offers strong assurance through policy enforcement, traceable events, and tamper-evident design elements that help document risk mitigation and security posture during audits. This level of protection is essential for ensuring that peripheral sharing does not become a security liability in high-stakes environments.
• CAC-Enabled Access and Credential Verification: With built-in CAC support, the SecureSwitch enables secure authentication and authorization for personnel using Common Access Cards. This eliminates reliance on insecure password-based access when switching between hosts, enabling smart-card-based login, secure session establishment, and comprehensive audit trails. The CAC integration supports government-grade identity verification, aligning with standard security requirements for personnel authorization and access control. The result is stronger physical and logical security, streamlined workflows, and verifiable, non-repudiable user activity across all connected devices.
• DisplayPort (DP) Support for High-Resolution Visuals: The four-port, single-head design includes DisplayPort capability, enabling high-resolution video and fast refresh rates for demanding multi-display workflows. Ideal for command centers, surveillance rooms, or data-intensive analysis stations, the DP interface delivers crystal-clear visuals while maintaining the secure isolation of each host. Users can monitor multiple secure environments side-by-side without compromising security posture, and administrators benefit from predictable performance and straightforward monitoring of display integrity across all connected systems.
• Efficient Peripheral Sharing with Isolation: The SecureSwitch enables shared use of keyboards, mice, USB devices, and other peripherals with strict separation between hosts. Each connected computer benefits from dedicated I/O channels, preventing data leakage and cross-contamination between systems operating at different classification levels. Administrators appreciate centralized management, audit-ready activity logs, and the ability to configure hotkeys or front-panel controls to switch between hosts with minimal latency. The result is productive collaboration across secured networks while maintaining rigorous data governance and device containment.
• Compact, Reliable, Enterprise-Grade Build: Built for secure data centers and field deployments, this 4-port switch features a compact footprint, durable construction, and enterprise-grade reliability. Raritan hardware is designed to withstand demanding environments, including rack installations, temperature fluctuations, and continuous operation. The device supports straightforward installation, maintenance, and integration with existing security baselines, delivering strong security without compromising user experience or system performance.

How to install Raritan 4-Port Single Head SecureSwitch

• Unpack and inspect the SecureSwitch for any shipping damage; verify that all included cables, mounting hardware, and accessories are present and accounted for before installation.
• Plan your host connections: designate four servers or workstations as the four available hosts, and prepare the corresponding DisplayPort and USB (or appropriate I/O) cables for each host. Ensure each host is configured to operate with its own keyboard, mouse, and display path in accordance with your security policy.
• Mount the SecureSwitch in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a stable surface as required by your deployment. Route cables neatly to avoid interference with airflow and to simplify future maintenance.
• Connect each host to the SecureSwitch ports using the appropriate DisplayPort and USB connections. If CAC-enabled access is required, ensure the CAC reader and related authentication components are properly integrated and enabled within your security baseline.
• Power up the device and perform an initial integrity check. Verify that each host is recognized correctly, that display output is stable, and that peripheral devices are captured and isolated per host. Run a basic switch test to confirm that switching between hosts preserves session integrity and that no cross-talk occurs between channels.
• Configure management access through the SecureSwitch’s control panel or secure management interface. Establish access controls, logging, and alerting according to your organization’s security policies. Apply firmware updates only from approved channels and document all changes for auditability.
• Document the final configuration, including host mappings, policy rules, and user access rights. Schedule regular maintenance windows for audits, security reviews, and ongoing compliance verification to preserve NIAP PP4.0 alignment over time.
