As a USB-powered IP KVM transmitter, it delivers spatially lossless DisplayPort video up to 2560x1600@60Hz across standard 1GbE infrastructure to ADDERLink INFINITY receivers. The compact dongle format makes this DisplayPort KVM over IP transmitter ideal for dense server rooms where every rack unit and power outlet counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere traditional extender transmitters consume rack space and a power supply per computer, the ALIF102T-DP hangs directly behind the server on a 300mm flying lead. It connects via a full-size dual-mode DisplayPort 1.1 (DP++) plug and two USB 2.0 connectors that both carry data and supply the unit's sub-3-watt power requirement — no external PSU to provision, though external and redundant 5V power options exist for installations that require them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/CN_ALIF102T-HM.avif?v=1765234980\" alt=\"Adder ALIF102T ADDERLink INFINITY 102T ZeroU USB-powered IP KVM transmitter\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideo is encoded with Adder's spatially lossless system using 1:1 pixel mapping, so the digital video arriving at the receiver is identical to what left the computer — pixel-perfect and color accurate with no artifacts, including support for dithered video from sources such as some Mac computers. USB 2.0 True Emulation handles graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks, and 3D explorers as well as mass storage, with class control to disable non-HID devices in secure applications. Digital audio runs as bi-directional USB stereo or uni-directional embedded stereo, and intelligent EDID management passes true monitor characteristics back to the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/CN_ALIF102T-HM_1.avif?v=1765234980\" alt=\"ADDERLink INFINITY 102T ZeroU transmitter connections\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach ALIF102T works as a point-to-point extender or in a self-managed distributed KVM switch where every receiver can see and rapidly switch between up to 16 sources.
