ATEN CS1144DP4 (4-Port 4K Secure DisplayPort KVM Switch / NIAP PP4.0 / $710.47) Review
The ATEN CS1144DP4 is a 4-port secure DisplayPort KVM switch built to next-generation NIAP PP4.0 requirements, supporting 4K@30Hz resolution with fully isolated per-channel video buffers and pushbutton-only switching, priced at $710.47.
The CS1144DP4 doubles the CS1142DP4's channel count to four while keeping the same 4K@30Hz resolution and next-gen NIAP PP4.0 certification, making it the mid-size option for classified desks that need both higher resolution and access to more than two domains. Versus the ATEN CS1142DP4 — half the channels for meaningfully less money, right-sized for a two-domain 4K desk. Versus the ATEN CS1184DP4 — same 4-port count on the older, cheaper 1080p-class platform.
4K Resolution Across Four Secure Channels
The CS1144DP4 doubles the CS1142DP4's channel count to four while keeping the same 4K@30Hz resolution and next-gen NIAP PP4.0 certification.
The Mid-Size 4K Secure Option
It's the mid-size option for classified desks that need both higher resolution and access to more than two domains, without stepping up to the 8-port CS1148DP4.
Comparison to Alternatives
Versus the ATEN CS1142DP4 — half the channels for meaningfully less money, right-sized for a two-domain 4K desk. Versus the ATEN CS1184DP4 — same 4-port count on the older, cheaper 1080p-class platform.

A strong middle ground in ATEN's 4K-capable secure switch line, balancing resolution and channel count.
Best for
- Four-domain secure desks needing 4K resolution
- Government facilities upgrading their secure KVM fleet to 4K
- Workstations that outgrew a 2-port 4K secure switch
Not for
- Two-domain desks better served by the cheaper CS1142DP4
- Budget deployments where 1080p is sufficient (see the CS1184DP4)
- Deployments needing 8 secure channels (see the CS1148DP4)
