Description
The SX42PH-4 is a secure 4×2 mini-matrix KVM switch designed to provide simultaneous access to multiple isolated systems while preserving strict peripheral separation. It allows operators to view and control two connected computers at the same time across two console displays. The unit is certified against NIAP Common Criteria PP4.0 PSD ensuring validated security for sensitive environments.
The switch supports dual-console operation where the user can move the mouse between screens to switch focus – eliminating manual switching steps. It accepts four DP1.2 or HDMI2.0 computer inputs and provides two DP1.2/HDMI2.0 console outputs. Advanced presets support additional monitors or dual-head source configurations to extend the matrix workflow.
Video performance includes support for UHD 4K resolutions up to 3840×2160 at 60 Hz on inputs and outputs, delivered over DP1.2 or HDMI2.0 links. USB A console ports provide keyboard and mouse connectivity while USB B computer ports handle peripheral connections. Analog audio I/O uses 3.5 mm jacks and the device operates from a 12V DC external power supply.
Connectivity is straightforward with four DP1.2/HDMI2.0 computer ports and two DP1.2/HDMI2.0 console outputs plus USB Type A/B for HID devices. The switch is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac environments and supports common USB HID keyboards and mice. Physical dimensions are compact at 342 x 148 x 42 mm making rack or desktop placement simple.
Typical applications include control rooms that must display data from multiple secure systems in real time, meeting rooms where presenter and host systems need concurrent display and control, and secure workstations requiring validated peripheral isolation. The SX42PH-4 fits scenarios where two simultaneous active sources are required on dual displays while maintaining strong security boundaries. Its certified PP4.0 status makes it suitable for government and regulated installations.
Installation is simple and tool-free for desktop use with standard DP or HDMI cables and USB HID connections. The metal chassis and external power brick provide reliable long-term operation and a predictable lifecycle backed by a two year warranty. Firmware and presets are designed for straightforward integration and routine maintenance in professional AV environments.
