Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the AdderLink X-DVIPRO-DL extenders. These compact
modules provide the quickest way to extend high quality dual link DVI digital video plus
USB keyboard, mouse and stereo audio 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-DL modules can
extend all dual link video resolutions up to 2560 x 1600. In effect, the X-DVIPRO-DL can
reliably transfer video rates up to 330 Mpixels per second. This is in addition to multiple
USB channels plus stereo audio - all via the same single length of CAT6a or CAT7
shielded twisted pair cabling.
The AdderLink X-DVIPRO-DL 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. Please see
Appendix A
for further details.
•
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.
