SwitchView SC400 and SC500 switching solutions provide three layers of 
tamper-proof hardware security and CAC support at the desktop
Proven and Secure Access for Any Environment
The Avocent SwitchView SC400 and SC500 KVM switch series offers proven, 
secure access for any desktop environment where security is mandatory. With 
USB Common Access Card (CAC) reader support, three levels of physical security, 
and controlled USB connectivity, you can consolidate multiple workstations of 
varying security classification levels with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without 
compromising network security. Dual link video offers uncompromising video 
quality up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz.  Dual head video (SC540 only) supports the most 
demanding workstation requirements.
The SwitchView SC400 and SC500 switches allow desktop IT administrators to 
deploy a single CAC reader that will switch to all computers connected to the switch. 
(CAC support is required for all government employees attempting to log in to 
government systems and is specified in the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 
12 [HSPD12].) These switches include three layers of tamper-proof hardware security 
at the desktop. In addition, SwitchView SC400 and SC500 switches ensure that only 
USB human interface devices (HID’s) function on target computers by constantly 
monitoring all devices attached to the console ports. These switches ignore 
communication from non-HID’s (such as flash drives, hard disk drives, cameras and 
printers) when switching data to the target.

and SC500 Switch 
Benefits
• NIAP Common Criteria
  validated to EAL4+.
• Software Security
  U.S-designed firmware allows only 
keyboard, mouse and common 
access cards (CAC) human 
interface devices (HID) to switch 
to the target computers. Devices 
considered unsecure, such as 
flash drives or other mass storage 
devices, cameras and all other USB 
devices, are strictly prohibited by 
the switch firmware. 
• Physical security: 
a)  Tamper-evident tape: A visual 
indication of an attempt to 
gain access to the internal 
components of the switch
b) Chassis intrusion detection: 
Prevents malicious tampering 
with the switch. If the cover is 
removed from the switch, the 
switch becomes inoperable and 
the LEDs flash
c)  Locked memory: Prevents 
tampering and reprogramming 
of the firmware
• Secure channels
  
Two to four fully secure channels 
isolated to 60db. Safely switch 
between computers operating 
at different classification levels – 
without compromising network 
security.
• Clears buffer
  
Automatically clears the keyboard 
buffer immediately after data is 
transmitted through the switch, 
so no data is ever left in the switch.
