Adder CATX-DP-USBA: DisplayPort USB Audio CAM for Secure CATx KVM E...
The Adder CATX-DP-USBA Computer Access Module (CAM) enables secure, BIOS-level extension of DisplayPort-equipped computers over CATx cabling up to 300m, connecting seamlessly to Adder KVM switches and extenders for remote video, USB, and audio access. Key benefits include plug-and-play simplicity for rapid deployment, self-powered operation via host USB to eliminate external adapters, and EDID passthrough for automatic resolution optimization, ensuring distortion-free high-res displays and efficient multi-server management in secure IT environments without signal degradation or setup delays.
Built from durable, compact ABS plastic in an inline form factor with an integrated RJ45 socket and short included cables for direct computer attachment, this lightweight, server-mountable module draws up to 500mA from the host USB port (not DisplayPort), supporting CAT5/5e/6 cabling for reliable transmission. It features advanced DDC/EDID emulation to maintain video integrity, transparent low-speed HID USB (1Mb/s) for keyboard/mouse, and a 3.5mm stereo jack for CD-quality 2-channel audio, all in a robust design ideal for dense rack setups with minimal maintenance and zero-configuration usability.
Ideal for data centers, broadcast studios, control rooms, and enterprise server farms, it excels in applications like extended-distance video/USB/audio sharing, multi-platform KVM switching, and hybrid local/remote diagnostics. Fully compatible with AdderView CATx KVM switches, AdderLink X100/X200 extenders, and DisplayPort systems such as modern PCs or graphics workstations, it integrates with Adder's ecosystem for scalable, future-proof AV/IT solutions; a Mini DisplayPort variant (CATX-MDP-USBA) is available for compatible devices.
