SDPN-2S: Ultra-Secure KVM Switching
The SDPN-2S is a 2-port, single-head DisplayPort Secure KVM switch with support for 4K (3840×2160 @ 30Hz) resolution video.The SDPN-2S allows users to control KVM (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) operation on up to four computers with DisplayPort monitors. It features mechanical, electrical and optical signal isolation to prevent hacking and data leakage in environments where security is paramount.
With the SDPN-2S, all data relays are controlled by inverted signals, shielding connections from outside intrusion by forcing them each to work one at a time. Each port uses its own isolated data channel and each unit features non-reprogrammable ROM to better protect the switch's functions. Better yet, the SDPN-2S offers the highest security when accessing classified and public networks over the internet through these isolated connections. By isolating connections between networks, the SDPN-2S ensures no data is leaked between secure ports and the outside world.
The SDPN-2S has clearly marked front-panel buttons for controlling the device, so securely switching between sources is always simple. For high-grade secure switching made easy, look no further than the SDPN-2S.

Why Secure KVM?
Traditional non-secure KVM switches offer centralized control of multiple computers, but offer no absolute isolation between them. This exposes systems to the possibility of malicious damage and disruption, and acquisition of sensitive data from one computer to another.
IPGard's Secure KVM Switch is designed for use in secure defense and intelligence applications where sensitive data must be protected. The Switch is NIAP PP 3.0 certified and equipped with the highest security features that meet today's Information Assurance safe control standards. The switch prevents data leakage between computers that can run at different security levels, and eliminate any potential cyber threat.
Keyboard & Mouse Emulation
The Secure KVM emulates (simulates) the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer through a USB cable. Both selected and non-selected computers maintain a constant connection with the unit's keyboard-mouse emulation controllers, allowing for ultra-fast switching and restricting discovery of newly connected peripherals during switching operations. Emulation of keyboard and mouse also prevents direct connection between the peripherals and the connected computers, shielding systems from potential vulnerabilities.
Secure EDID Learn And Video Emulation
The SDPN-2S simulates a generic EDID as default, allowing it to operate most of the connected monitors. Both selected and non-selected computers maintain a constant connection with the unit's video emulation controllers, allowing for ultra-fast switching and restricting discovery of newly connected monitors during switching operations. Upon activating the KVM, the unit will quickly and automatically learn new EDID for specific monitors. The unit then prevents unwanted and unsecure data from getting transmitted through DDC lines by means of secure EDID learning and emulation.

Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
You could indeed use a secure KVM switch such as this SDPN-2S as a KM switch by not plugging in the monitor connections.
Here are a couple of notes regarding your application:
1) VDT (switching using your mouse cursor) is currently only be available on some KM switches such as the SmartAVI SKM series or Adder Command & Control (CCS) series
2) "File transfer supported": NIAP EAL+4 security certification requires secure KVM switches to limit USB ports to user interaction and authentication devices for security reasons. Devices such as USB storage drives, are actively prohibited. A regular KM / KVM switch with USB hub port(s) would let you switch USB storage drives between source computers.
3) "Copy-paste support": Regular in-OS "Copy-paste" is supported. "Copy-paste" between different sources is not supported for the same reason as 2). KVM Over IP Switches, in example, would support "Copy-paste" across different sources, but can not be certified EAL+4.
4) Switching time: A DVI or HDMI KVM, such as the SDVN-2S (DVI-I version) would switch a bit faster than SDPN-2S. DisplayPort KVMs generally have slower switching speed due to video emulation limitations.
