Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the AdderLink X-DVIPRO or X-DVIPRO-MS2 extenders. These
compact modules provide the quickest way to extend high quality single link DVI digital
video plus USB keyboard, mouse and stereo audio (plus on MS2 variants, a second digital
video channel and audio channel) with an additional two USB peripherals up to 50 meters
away from your computer.
Thanks to our long involvement and investment in extender technology we have
succeeded in overcoming the numerous problems associated with extending digital video
signals. Using our proprietary transmission techniques the X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-
MS2 modules can reliably transfer video rates up to 165 Mpixels per second. This is in
addition to two USB channels for keyboard and mouse, plus stereo audio - all via the
same single length of CAT6a or CAT7 shielded twisted pair cabling.
The AdderLink X-DVIPRO and X-DVIPRO-MS2 extender modules have been designed
to be quick to install and totally transparent in operation.
Cable type and distance rules
• Cable screening is paramount. The best cable screening specifications for digital KVM
extension are: S/FTP, S/STP or PiMF.
•
Extension distances up to 50m are supported with single uninterrupted runs of
recommended cable (Adder CAT7 patch cable) at full resolution.
•
Extensions of 50m may be achieved with single uninterrupted runs of shielded CAT6a
bulk/trunk (not patch) cable at full resolution.
•
Adder does not recommend CAT5e cables for use with this product.
•
Overall cable runs must be reduced by 5m for each additional cable coupling.
• Run specifications may be increased by 10m when using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 or
lower.
•
All patch cables should be as short as possible and should be no longer than 2m.
•
It is recommended that Adder CAT7 patch cables are used for maximum performance.
Recommended 50m link cable for best results: Adder part number -
