As a USB-powered HDMI KVM over IP transmitter, it carries spatially lossless video up to 2560x1600@60Hz across standard 1GbE networks to ADDERLink INFINITY receivers. The dongle-style ZeroU format suits dense server rooms where rack units and power outlets are at a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of dedicating a rack shelf and PSU to each extender transmitter, the ALIF102T-HM hangs directly behind the server on a 300mm flying lead. It plugs into the computer's HDMI output and two USB 2.0 ports, which together provide both data and the unit's sub-3-watt power requirement. External and redundant 5V powering options are available for installations that demand 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-HM ADDERLink INFINITY 102T HDMI ZeroU IP KVM transmitter\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdder's spatially lossless encoding with 1:1 pixel mapping ensures the video delivered to the receiver matches the source exactly — pixel-perfect and color accurate, with support for dithered video from sources such as some Mac computers. USB 2.0 True Emulation accommodates graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks, and 3D explorers alongside mass storage, and class control can disable non-HID devices so secure sites need not physically block ports. Digital audio runs as bi-directional USB stereo or uni-directional embedded stereo, and intelligent EDID management passes the monitor's true characteristics back to the computer for correct output without configuration.\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 HDMI transmitter connection detail\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach ALIF102T can run as a simple point-to-point extender or as part of a self-managed distributed KVM switch in which every receiver sees and rapidly switches among up to 16 sources.
