Welcome

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AdderLink X-USBPRO 
or  X-USBPRO-MS2 extenders which provide a 
very effective way to put distance between your 
computer and its peripherals. 
The compact casings and ease of use of the 
modules belie the ingenuity of their operation. 
Using our proprietary transmission techniques we 
are able to reliably transfer more signals than ever 
before along a single length of Category 5, 5e, 6, 7 
or 7a twisted pair cabling. What this means for you 
is that your video, audio, USB keyboard, USB mouse 
and two other USB channels are all readily and 
reliably available at up to 300 metres away.

Using the Adder X-USBPRO extenders does not 
mean that you need to compromise on functionality 
in any way. Our highly efficient transmission 
methods mean that CD quality sound and high 
video resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200 are fully 
supported. Any lag effects caused by long cable 
runs are easily eliminated using the intuitive video 
compensation system located within the remote 
module. Three equalisation bands allow you to 
ensure that every colour arrives at precisely the 
right time, ensuring a sharp image every time. The 
X-USBPRO-MS2 model uses an additional CATx 
connection to provide dual analog video links. 

The USB connections are seamless allowing four full 
speed USB 2.0 devices to be used simultaneously 
with full support for disconnect/re-connect at any 
time without causing errors.       
The Adder X-USBPRO extenders have been 
designed to be quick to install and totally 
transparent in operation: ‘Fit and forget’ is the 
motto. So whether you are extending your 
workplace or creating a cost-effective distributed 
audio visual system, the X-USBPRO extenders 
provide the power and flexibility to create the right 
solution.
