Adder AVSD1002 Secure 2-Port USB DVI-I KVM Switch (EAL4+) Review
Adder AVSD1002 secure 2-port USB DVI-I KVM switch EAL4+ certified, government classified network isolation switch, digital video secure KVM, NIAP evaluated
Brings the AVSV1002's certified isolation into the DVI era: the same two-network separation guarantee, but for desks whose monitors and graphics cards moved past VGA years ago.
Digital Video Without Losing Certification
DVI-I carries both digital and analog signals from one port, so this switch works with modern digital monitors while still supporting legacy analog displays through the same connector, all under EAL4+ evaluation.
Where VGA-Only Secure Switches Fall Short
As classified facilities refresh workstations with DVI/HDMI-capable graphics cards, VGA-only secure switches like the AVSV1002 force a downgrade converter that can itself become a security review headache — native DVI-I avoids that entirely.
Comparison to Alternatives
For 4 computers instead of 2, the AVSD1004 offers the same DVI-I certified design. The AVSV1002 and AVSC1102 remain VGA-only alternatives at similar security levels. Raritan's RSS-102C4K goes further with DVI/HDMI/VGA/USB/audio support in one secure 2-port switch for facilities needing multi-format flexibility.
