Welcome
Introduction
Thank you for choosing one of the AdderLink X2-Series products. These
compact modules allow you to place the controlling keyboard, video monitor,
mouse and a serial device up to 300 metres from a computer system. The range
topping X2-Gold modules also allow you to extend your audio accessories away
from your computer.
There are three variants in the X2-Series and each consists of two modules: a
local module that attaches to your computer system and a remote module to
which the peripherals are connected. The long distance link between the two
modules is made via Category 5, or higher, twisted pair cabling.
Special circuitry within the remote module allows you to make adjustments to
the sharpness and brightness settings to suit your own preferences. Additionally,
the X2-Silver and X2-Gold models also feature Skew adjustment to counteract
the effects of uneven lengths of twisted pair cables that are used to carry the
video signals.
This table indicates the functional differences between the three variants within
the X2-Series:
