Adder AVSV1002 Secure 2-Port USB VGA KVM Switch (EAL4+/Tempest) Review
Adder AVSV1002 secure 2-port USB VGA KVM switch EAL4+ Tempest certified, government classified network isolation switch without smart card reader, NIAP secure KVM
The same certified isolation engineering as the AVSC1102, minus the CAC reader — for classified desks that authenticate some other way (PIV via keyboard, or none at the KVM layer) and don't need to pay for smart-card hardware they won't use.
Same Isolation, No Smart Card Overhead
Everything about the certified separation between the two connected computers is identical to the AVSC1102; only the dedicated CAC reader is omitted, trimming cost and one more component to manage.
When to Skip the CAC Reader
Sites using a separate standalone card reader, software-based PKI, or no smart-card requirement at all get full EAL4+/Tempest protection without paying for hardware they'll never plug in.
Comparison to Alternatives
Need CAC support after all? The AVSC1102 adds it at the same 2-port count. For four networks instead of two, the AVSV1004 keeps the same no-CAC design. Raritan's RSS-1024K covers 2 ports with DVI/HDMI/VGA/USB/audio for facilities that need broader video format support than VGA alone.
