The IOGEAR GCS1318TAA3 Secure KVM Switchbox is engineered for high-security, multi-system control in desktop and enterprise environments. Designed to manage up to eight computers from a single local workstation, it delivers crystal-clear 4K UHD video, rock-solid USB console sharing, and a security-first approach that prevents unauthorized switching through software or on-screen prompts. With pushbutton port selection only, this KVM switchbox minimizes attack surfaces while still offering streamlined administration for complex setups. Built to meet government and contractor-grade standards, it blends robust hardware with practical ease of use, making it an ideal choice for data centers, control rooms, labs, and secure work environments that demand both performance and compliance.

  • 8 computers plus 1 local user — Control up to eight PC hosts from a single USB console with one local workstation, enabling IT teams and operators to switch contexts quickly without toggling between multiple keyboards and mice. This design simplifies workflows in environments where rapid cross-system access is essential, such as development labs, QA suites, and multi-OS test benches. The arrangement keeps all essential peripherals centralized while preserving dedicated access for each connected system.
  • 9 HDMI interfaces and 4K UHD video Experience high-fidelity visuals with support for up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz. The 4K UHD capability ensures crisp text, accurate color rendering, and smooth motion for multimedia, design, engineering, and data analysis tasks. Whether you’re running design software, virtual desktops, or large spreadsheets, the GCS1318TAA3 preserves image integrity across displays connected to the switch, delivering dependable performance in professional environments.
  • Pushbutton-only PORT SELECTION FOR enhanced security All switching is performed via physical pushbuttons, with no on-screen display (OSD) or hotkey methods allowed. This design eliminates software-based interference, reduces the risk of keyloggers or malware manipulating the switch, and aligns with strict security policies that prohibit hidden or programmable controls. For organizations requiring auditable, tamper-resistant access to multiple systems, this approach provides a clear, hardware-centric method to select the active host.
  • One USB console shared across all hosts A single USB keyboard/mouse (and other USB peripherals) can be used to control any of the eight connected computers through the switch. Shared USB access helps minimize peripheral clutter and streamlines management in environments with limited desktop space. This setup is especially beneficial for technicians, analysts, and operators who need a clean, efficient workspace while maintaining rapid cross-machine navigation.
  • TAA-compliant desktop KVM for secure deployments The GCS1318TAA3 is designed to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, making it suitable for government, defense, and contractor projects where procurement standards demand compliant equipment. Its compact desktop form factor fits neatly on a workspace, rack or cabinet shelf, allowing it to integrate into existing security- and space-conscious infrastructures while maintaining robust performance across all eight hosts.

How to install IOGEAR GCS1318TAA3 Secure KVM Switchbox

Setting up the GCS1318TAA3 is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while maximizing security and performance. Follow these steps to configure the switchbox for immediate use in a secure environment:

  • Power down all devices that will connect to the KVM switch before making any cabling connections to avoid electrical surges or port damage.
  • Plan the cable layout by designating eight HDMI video sources (the PCs or servers) and one HDMI display monitor for the local workstation. Note the order if you require a specific host-to-button mapping for quick recognition during operation.
  • Connect each computer’s HDMI output to the corresponding HDMI input port on the KVM switch. Use high-quality HDMI cables suitable for 4K/30 Hz to ensure stable video performance.
  • Attach each computer’s USB keyboard and mouse (or a USB hub) to the KVM switch’s USB input ports, enabling shared USB peripheral control across all hosts. If you prefer, you can connect a single USB console (keyboard/mouse) to the switch and share it among all eight hosts.
  • Connect the KVM switch’s HDMI output to your display monitor(s) so the active host’s video is shown on the screen. Ensure the display is capable of 4K UHD at 30 Hz to match the switch’s output.
  • Power on the KVM switch first, followed by all connected computers. Verify that each host is recognized when switching between ports using the physical pushbuttons on the front panel.
  • Test peripheral responsiveness by moving the mouse and typing on the keyboard after switching to a given host. Confirm that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse respond correctly on each machine, and that network or USB devices connected through the switch behave as expected.
  • If you are deploying in a secure environment, document the mapping of each host to its corresponding pushbutton and establish a standard operating procedure for routine switching to maintain consistency and compliance.

Not good for aggressive chewers
This product does not stand up to aggressive chewing. My bulldog had it for about an hour before the legs disappeared.

Worth it if your dog destroys plush toys & likes to chew
Color: Cyan NylonFish
My dog is a very big chewer and destroyer of toys. This toy is perfect for her. It is durable and keeps her engaged chewing for a while. I have a 55lb dog, considered a large dog, and it’s a great size for her. She’s unable to break it apart. The ends do tend to get a little sharp after extended use

My Boston loves this fish toy
Color: Cyan NylonFish
Very durable. It takes a couple of months of intense chewing to make holes in this toy. My Boston has incredible mouth strength so he destroys most toys in minutes unless they are rocks. I have replaced this fish 2 times in the last year. I keep an eye on the wear and replace it when he makes a hole in it. Worthwhile purchase but monitor the dogs chewing.

Great sturdy toy
Color: Cyan NylonFish
Great toy. 1 yr old puppy LOVES it! However, not good for TILE FLOORS. It's so strong and sturdy but bangs all over the tile! Enough to crack tiles 😬

American Bully Trial - Honest Review
Color: Cyan NylonFish
I have never gotten a toy that lasted more than an hour when it comes to my baby girl. She is an aggressive chewer and loves anything that squeaks. This definitely helped to keep her entertained and use her teeth. I can confidently say that this toy may last a long time but she has already ripped a piece from it. I didn’t expect anything less since she always knows how to test new toys lol. I would definitely recommend though and will be getting more for her once this one is gone. Thank you!
