Belkin extender portfolio. Secure. Certified. Connected.
Belkin video/USB extenders.
Introducing never-before-available security and distance options.
Existing technology allows extenders to deliver point-topoint video and USB across distance, but there’s no way to switch the video path from enclave to enclave. Belkin SKVM keyboards and remote-control pads deliver groundbreaking technology by enabling enclave switching control over long distance from the users’ desktops. This valuable security feature allows the processing side (zero clients, thin clients, workstations) and the Secure KVMs to be located in a locked, secure data center or SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) rather than at the desktop. Users have the flexibility to switch across a multitude of classified/unclassified networks remotely even though there are no processing components at the desktop. The innovation to toggle SKVM buttons on the SKVM keyboard or remote-control pad at a remote location is an industry breakthrough. Combining it with a minimum of infrastructure cost (one receiver/transceiver set per monitor) is revolutionary. Leveraging its SKVM expertise, Belkin developed a “no client” solution that provides the ultimate in desktop security with the added benefit of data center-located administration of the computing assets.
Belkin secure desktop approach.
Better than a zero or thin client — it’s a no client.
Our technology makes two unique applications possible: • P lacement of Secure KVMs next to computers in the
data center instead of at the desktop with single-wire control over long distances from the remote desktop.
• L ong-distance transmission of video/USB over
copper or fiber infrastructure for audio/visual projects challenged by signaling limitations.
Benefits for government, utilities and healthcare professionals include: • Improved security and centralized administration of the
computing assets and SKVMs by rack-mounting the processing side (virtual or physical workstations) in the data center.
• D ramatic infrastructure cost reductions. Instead of
running four or more Ethernet drops (one per enclave) to each desk, only one CAT6 or fiber run is needed per desktop (two for dual-head support). This significantly reduces cable bulk costs and simplifies cable management.
• B elkin’s Extender portfolio allows you to control your
computer, secure enclave or SKVM switch from up to 328 feet (100m) with CAT6 or 984 feet (300m) with SFP Fiber. This is ideal for remote desktops, conference rooms, command and control, server farms and secure video access. Belkin KVM Extender 1
