Question: What cables does this switch come with?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. The Dominion KX III requires one Computer Interface Module (CIM) for each attached server as well as CAT5 cable to connect the CIM to the switch.

The DKX3-232 ships with the following contents:
1 x KX III Device
1 x KX III Quick Setup Guide
1 x Rackmount kit
2 x AC power cords
1 x Set of 4 rubber feet (for desktop use)
1 x Application note
1 x Warranty card

To offer the greatest flexibility, this unit does not come with any CIMs or CAT5 cable.

Question: How i can Connect three KVM switches with one LED Monitor for display of all nodes in single monitor?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. It sounds like you are looking for a multiviewer type KVM that can display the input of multiple systems on a single screen.

If you have independent keyboards and mice for each system, something like the SmartAVI SM-HDMV-S (https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/sm-hdmv-s.html) might work. For a KVM type device that would share a keyboard and mouse, the Rose Electronics QuadraVista QV-4KVMHDMI ( https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/qv-4kvmhdmi.html ) might work.

Question: I see that there is the new DKX4 series 1-Port IP KVM coming out - Are there any plans to replace DKX3-232 with a newer model like Raritan DKX4-232?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

As of February 12th, 2018, Raritan does not currently have a public release plan for replacing the DKX3-232.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!

Question: We are considering the DKX3-232 for a USAF network. Is it considered a "Secure" KVM and does it have any DoD credentials, i.e. Common Criteria Portal, NIST FIPS, etc?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

The Raritan DKX3-232 indeed meets DoD security standards including: AES & FIPS 140-2 encryption, UL certification, Common Access Card (CAC) authentication, PIV, FIPS 201, HSPD-12 and IPv6 networking.
  • U.S. government agencies and the Department of Defense are now mandated to purchase IPv6-compatible products - The Raritan Dominion supports IPv6.
  • The Dominion KX III uses an embedded FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module running on a Linux platform per FIPS 140-2 implementation guidelines. This cryptographic module is used for encryption of KVM session traffic consisting of video, keyboard, mouse, virtual media and smart card data.
  • The Dominion KX III also supports AES 256-bit and 128-bit encryption as recommended by the U.S. government's NIST and FIPS standards Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for added security. The weaker RC4 encryption is no longer supported.
  • Please note that due to the specification of the protection profiles, NIAP Common Criteria certification is not really suitable for the evaluation against over-IP / network-attached switches or matrix switches. You can find a list of our Common Criteria Certified secure KVMs here.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
