StarTech CK4-P208C 8-Port Secure KVM Switch 4K

Overview :

The StarTech CK4-P208C is a NIAP 4.0–certified secure KVM switch designed for high-security environments such as government, defense, and regulated enterprise networks. It enables a single operator to control up to eight isolated systems using one keyboard, mouse, and dual-monitor setup while ensuring complete data path isolation between connected devices.

It supports dual DisplayPort outputs with a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz, making it suitable for secure workstation deployments requiring multi-system visibility without compromising security. The unit includes a dedicated CAC (Common Access Card) port for centralized smart card authentication across all connected systems.

From a deployment perspective, this is a desktop KVM with enterprise-grade metal housing, typically used in SOC environments, control rooms, and classified data centers. It integrates via multiple DisplayPort and USB connections per system, supporting up to eight computers with strict hardware-enforced isolation.

This device should not be used in standard commercial IT environments where security certification is not required, as it prioritizes isolation over flexibility (no data sharing, limited peripheral support, and no switching shortcuts typical of standard KVMs).

Key Features :

• Controls 8 systems with dual 4K monitor output
• NIAP 4.0 certified for strict data isolation
• Dedicated CAC port for secure authentication
• Anti-tamper switches disable on intrusion
• Dual DisplayPort outputs up to 4K@30Hz
