Adder ALIF4001R-US – Dual-Head 5K IP KVM Receiver, Dual SFP+

Product Overview

The Adder ALIF4001R-US is the receiver unit of the ADDERLink INFINITY 4001, a dual-head DisplayPort IP KVM extender engineered for operator desks that demand 5K video, 10GbE networking, and real-time control of remotely located computers. This 5K IP KVM receiver drives two displays at up to 5120 x 2880 with 10-bit color and HDR10, connects to the network through dual SFP+ cages, and provides five USB 2.0 ports for keyboards, mice, and peripherals. Deployed point-to-point or in an AIM-managed KVM over IP matrix, it gives users a pixel-perfect desktop while the hardware lives safely in the equipment room.

Product Description

At the workstation, the ALIF4001R presents two full-size DisplayPort outputs, four True Emulation USB 2.0 ports, one transparent high-speed USB 2.0 port, and bi-directional analog audio. Adder's spatially-lossless encoding with 1:1 pixel mapping means the video the operator sees is identical to the digital output leaving the remote computer, with no compression artifacts — essential for color-critical and detail-critical work.

The dual SFP+ cages accept 10GbE or 1GbE fiber modules, and with the SFP-CATX-MR multirate copper module the receiver runs 1/2.5/5/10 GbE over standard CAT6 cable up to 100 m. Network teaming across both ports provides full redundancy for mission-critical control positions. Video support covers dual 5K (5120 x 2880 at 30 Hz), ultra-wide 5120 x 1440 at 60 Hz, and refresh rates up to 240 Hz at HD, with 10 bits per color and HDR10 in both PQ and HLG.

Operators benefit from full dual touchscreen support, including an on-screen keyboard and a configurable floating launch button, plus fast switching between up to 16 sources when the unit runs as a self-managed distributed KVM switch. High-speed USB 2.0 handles isochronous devices such as headsets, microphones, and webcams, and mass storage can be disabled in software for secure environments. Add the ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (AIM) server and the receiver becomes a node in a fully scalable IP KVM matrix with any-station-to-any-computer routing. Complete the link with the matching ALIF4001T-US transmitter.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this receiver require a transmitter?
Yes. This listing is the receiver only. Pair it with the ALIF4001T-US transmitter connected to the host computer.

Are SFP modules included?
No. SFP/SFP+ modules are selected to match your network: 1GbE or 10GbE fiber, or the multirate copper SFP for CAT6 runs up to 100 m.

Can I switch between multiple computers from one receiver?
Yes. Operating as a self-managed switch, each receiver can see and rapidly switch among up to 16 sources. With the AIM server, the matrix scales to any connected source.

Does it support touchscreens?
Yes. Full dual touchscreen support is included, with an on-screen keyboard and a floating launch button of configurable size and position.

What audio is supported?
Bi-directional analog stereo line in/out plus headset and microphone use, and up to eight channels of digital audio over DisplayPort.

Is host-side software required?
No. ALIF devices ship zero-config with no drivers or software to install.

Where do I find the AIM matrix manager?
The ADDERLink INFINITY Manager (ASP-001) and capacity licenses are available at Creation Networks, along with the full Adder Technology collection.
