Belkin F1DN208KVM-UN-4 Universal 2nd Gen Secure KVM Switch — 8 Computers, Dual-Head, 4K
8-port dual-head4K@60Hz DP/HDMINIAP PP 4.0CAC port
The Belkin F1DN208KVM-UN-4 is a Universal 2nd Gen secure KVM switch that lets one operator control 8 dual-monitor computers from a single keyboard, mouse and pair of displays, with DP/HDMI combo video ports on both host and console sides and resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz.
It is certified to NIAP Common Criteria Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Devices (PSD PP 4.0) and TAA compliant, making it a fit for government, defence, finance and healthcare desks that must keep networks of different classification isolated.
The 8-port model uses a formed sheet-steel chassis for desktop or 19" rack installation (rack-mount adapters included) with a built-in power supply.
Compatibility note: Each host channel needs two video cables (DP or HDMI) plus a USB-A to USB-B cable, and optionally 3.5 mm audio and a CAC USB lead — cables are not included. Belkin's dual-head combo kits (e.g. F1DN2CCBL-HH6T) cover HDMI hosts. The optional F1DN008KBD remote control keyboard is sold separately.

Key Features
Isolation by design
Optical data diodes on the USB path, protected (read-only) EDID emulation and USB device qualification prevent data leakage between the connected computers.
Dual-head 4K on every channel
DP/HDMI combo connectors accept either interface on host and console, up to 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz per head, so mixed fleets need no adapters.
CAC and tamper evidence
Dedicated CAC port for smart-card readers, holographic tamper-evident labels and tamper-evident packaging support secure-site audits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the F1DN208KVM-UN-4 work with mixed DisplayPort and HDMI computers?
Yes. Every video port is a DP/HDMI combo connector, so each computer (and each console monitor) can use either DisplayPort or HDMI without adapters, up to 4K@60Hz.
What do I need to order with it?
Cables per computer (two video leads, USB-A to USB-B, optional audio and CAC) are not included. For HDMI hosts, Belkin's F1DN2CCBL-HH6T dual-head combo kit is the simplest option; the F1DN008KBD remote control keyboard is an optional extra.
What is the difference between the F1DN208KVM-UN-4 and F1DN204KVM-UN-4?
Both share the same security feature set and 4K dual-head DP/HDMI ports; the F1DN204KVM-UN-4 serves 4 computers in a compact aluminium desktop case, while the F1DN208KVM-UN-4 serves 8 in a rack-mountable steel chassis with internal PSU.
Singular Expert Insight
Belkin's Universal 2nd Gen line is one of the most widely deployed NIAP PP 4.0 KVM families, and the combo DP/HDMI ports remove the usual headache of choosing a DP-only or HDMI-only model. Eight channels in a rack-mountable chassis make it the choice for operations centres and multi-domain analyst positions where the switch lives in a cabinet rather than on the desk. Browse our
secure and standard KVM switches for non-secure alternatives.
✓ Buy it if you need to consolidate up to eight dual-monitor isolated systems onto one certified console, on the desk or in a rack.
✕ Skip it if four channels are enough (the smaller F1DN204KVM-UN-4 saves space and cost).
