SmartAVI SDPN-2D-P 2-Port Dual-Head Secure Pro KVM (DisplayPort) Review

SmartAVI SDPN-2D-P 2 port dual head secure pro KVM DisplayPort CAC smart card PIV classified

The SDPN-2D-P pairs the SDPN-2D's native DisplayPort dual-head switching with a switched CAC/PIV reader port, covering 2-system desks that need both modern video and smart-card authentication in one unit.

CAC on Modern DisplayPort Desks

Facilities that have already standardized on DisplayPort monitors no longer have to choose between video standard and CAC support — this unit delivers both in the same 2-port dual-head form factor.

Modest Premium Over the Base Model

At $507.00 versus $479.25 for the non-CAC SDPN-2D, the smart-card port adds relatively little cost for the added authentication capability.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Belkin F1DN102KVM-UN, a single-head 2-port CAC-capable DisplayPort secure KVM, the SDPN-2D-P is the pick for desks needing dual monitors rather than one. The DVI-I equivalent, SDVN-2D-P, is the choice for facilities still on legacy displays.
