Avocent SVM180DPH400 8-port video switch

8-Port Multi-Video KVM Switch

The Avocent SVM180DPH400 is an 8-port desktop matrix switch that lets operators control up to four computers from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. Universal video connectors accept DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D signals at resolutions up to UHD 4K. Three USB ports provide shared peripheral access while independent audio and USB 3.0 switching keeps workflows flexible. The unit is TAA compliant for federal procurement requirements.

Replaces Separate KVMs and Cable Adapters

This switch consolidates multiple single-video KVM units and the assorted DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D adapters they require into one chassis. The jump is worthwhile when a workstation must drive mixed monitor inputs across four systems without swapping cables or adding converter dongles. Cursor Navigation Switching moves control instantly across screen borders, and managed copy-and-paste transfers text or files between sources without network shares.

Suits Secure Multi-Domain Desktops

The matrix design suits analysts, engineers and control-room staff who need simultaneous visibility across isolated systems on one desk. Buyers who need to control more than four computers at once or who require video outputs beyond DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D should look at larger matrix or IP-based KVM solutions. Users without USB 3.0 or audio switching needs may find simpler single-head switches more cost-effective.
