Video resolutions
1600 x 1280 at distances up to 100 metres/330 ft, 1024 x 768 at distances up to 200 metres/650 ft.
Extension distance
Up to 200 metres / 650 ft using CATx cable (x=5,5e,6,7)
Extension technology
Differential analogue signalling for video signals, differential digital signalling for PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse and DDC signals. Signals are multiplexed so that only one CATx cable is required.
Devices supported
Supports PS/2 style keyboard, PS/2 style mouse, flat-screen and CRT style monitors with standard HD-15 video connectors.
Video compensation
Adjustable video compensation amplifiers enable the video sharpness to be adjusted using the keyboard. Coarse and fine adjustment control is provided for quick setup. Settings are persistent even when the ADDERLink is powered off which means that setup only needs to be done once. Brightness adjustment is automatic.
Keyboard control
The cable equalisation are controlled in ‘configuration mode’ using the keyboard attached to the remote (KVM console-end) unit. Configuration mode is accessed using keyboard hotkeys. These hotkeys may also be used to lock the remote unit (if a password has been set). Hotkeys are variable and may be disabled if required. Feedback is provided to the user using the keyboard num, caps and scroll lights.
Indicators
The remote and local units are fitted with a link/activity indicator that shows the link status and indicate keyboard and mouse data activity.

The units are rack mounted using the optional rack mount face plate (part code: X-RMK-KVM/T for local and X-RMK-KVM/R for remote).
Connectors (Local computer-end unit)
1 x 25-way female connector for computer connection, 1 x RJ45 connector for CATx cable connection. 2.5mm DC jack for optional power adapter (only required for video only applications).
Connectors (Remote console-end unit)
1 x purple 6-pin mini-DIN female keyboard connector, 1 x green 6-pin mini-DIN female mouse connector, 1 x blue 15-pin high-density D-type female connector for monitor connection. 1 x RJ45 connector for CATx cable connection. 2.5mm DC jack for power adapter.
Physical (Local computer-end unit)
Metal case (steel and stainless steel), 122mm x 26mm x 75mm, 320g, fits into one slot width in the X-Series rack mount chassis (16 units fit into 2U of rack space).
Physical (Remote console-end unit)
Metal case (steel and stainless steel), 122mm x 26mm x 75mm, 320g, fits into one slot width in the X-Series rack mount chassis (16 units fit into 2U of rack space).
Power
