Meet the Belkin DuoClave Secure KVM Switch

What is the Belkin DuoClave Secure KVM switch?

Today’s evolving digital landscape demands that the government, military, financial, healthcare and energy industries optimize cybersecurity for their networks. The Belkin DuoClave Secure KVM Series is a no-compromise solution for safeguarding sensitive information. This advanced secure KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) technology is designed specifically for environments that cannot afford to approach data security as an afterthought.

The DuoClave SKVM switch ensures network systems are protected from unauthorized access while allowing seamless control over multiple computers. Its user-friendly interface and switching capabilities allow operators to toggle between systems without compromising on security. DuoClave SKVMs provide the stringent safeguards required by today’s IA (Information Assurance) computing requirements, functioning as a vital barrier against potential cyber threats. Whether you're in finance, government, or any sector that handles confidential data, the Belkin DuoClave Secure KVM provides peace of mind with convenient functionality.

How the DuoClave SKVM works

Traditional SKVMs allow access to one network at a time on up to two displays.. Belkin DuoClave SKVM Series enables simultaneous secure management of two networks from two independent displays. DuoClave is designed to optimize surveillance of two active networks at the same time.

Featuring ten predefined monitor layouts, DuoClave offers a setup for most use cases with just a keyboard shortcut. Whether you’re working with two, three, or four connected monitors, our presets make it easy to navigate and customize your workspace, complete with perfectly defined screen borders for maximum productivity.

Operators have the ability to securely switch between four or eight computer sources while simultaneously viewing two networks on different monitors. Belkin’s DuoClave SKVM Series securely switches between sources via Key Press Seamless Cursor Switching (KPSCS). Deliberate enclave switching with KPSCS will transition the keyboard and mouse control from one channel to the next when the mouse cursor crosses a display border onto the adjacent display, while the user depresses the Control key. The user may also use the front panel buttons – or optional remote controls – to switch between channels.
