Part of the ADDERLink INFINITY family, this USB-powered KVM-over-IP transmitter draws under 3W in typical use and needs no rack space, no external PSU, and no software — it simply hangs from the host's VGA and USB ports. With AIM management, the same dongle becomes a node in a scalable IP KVM matrix connecting any workstation to any computer on the network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLegacy VGA computers remain in service across control, production, and institutional environments, and the ALIF100T-VGA brings them into a modern IP KVM deployment without adapters or rack hardware. The compact ABS-and-aluminium dongle measures just 55 x 25 x 110mm with a 300mm flying lead, occupying zero rack units at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/CN_ALIF100T-VGA_1.avif?v=1765235220\" alt=\"Adder ALIF100T-VGA ZeroU IP KVM transmitter dongle\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideo is encoded with Adder's spatially lossless system using 1:1 pixel mapping, so the image delivered across the network at up to 1920x1200@60Hz is pixel-perfect and color accurate — the digital video received matches the video leaving the computer, with support for dithered video from sources such as certain Mac models. Power arrives over the two USB 2.0 connections (2x 500mA at 5V), eliminating PSU provisioning, with external and redundant power options available where required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/CN_ALIF100T-VGA_3.avif?v=1765235220\" alt=\"ADDERLink INFINITY 100T VGA transmitter connections with VGA, USB, and RJ45 link port\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSB support extends beyond keyboards and mice to graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks, and 3D explorers, and class control can disable non-HID devices in secure deployments — no physical port blocking required. Bi-directional 16-bit\/48kHz USB stereo audio travels digitally across the network, and intelligent EDID management passes true monitor characteristics back to the host. Devices ship in a zero-config state for plug-and-play point-to-point links over CAT5e up to 100m, and pairing the system with ADDERLink INFINITY Management (AIM) scales it into a full digital KVM matrix. A calculated MTBF of 2,000,000 hours underlines its suitability for continuous duty.
