Vertiv Cybex Secure KVM 4-Port (SC945DPH-400) Review
Vertiv Cybex SC945DPH-400 secure KVM 4 port DisplayPort HDMI 4K classified audio switching
The SC945DPH-400 is Vertiv's Cybex-branded 4-port secure KVM with combined DisplayPort/HDMI support and switched audio, positioned as a premium single-monitor desktop unit for classified environments that need both modern video standards and audio in one certified switch.
Dual Video Standard Support
Supporting both DisplayPort and HDMI inputs on the same unit gives facilities flexibility to mix source computer types without needing separate switch models for each video standard.
Audio Switching Alongside Modern Video
Where many DisplayPort/HDMI-era secure KVMs drop audio switching, the SC945DPH-400 keeps it, useful for classified desks running alerting or voice audio that must isolate per network just like the video.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Tripp Lite B002-DP1A4-N4, a comparably priced 4-port DisplayPort-only secure KVM without audio, the SC945DPH-400's dual-standard input and audio switching justify its position. Within the Cybex family, the dual-monitor SC945XD is the step up for two-screen desks.
