Adder CATX-MDP-USBA: Mini DisplayPort USB Audio CAM for CATx KVM Ex...
The Adder CATX-MDP-USBA Computer Access Module delivers secure, BIOS-level extension for DisplayPort-equipped computers, enabling remote access up to 300m over CATx cabling while powering itself via USB for simplified, clutter-free installations. Key benefits include effortless plug-and-play connectivity for rapid deployment, EDID pass-back for optimal video resolution matching, and integrated low-speed USB HID support for seamless keyboard/mouse control, ensuring efficient multi-server management without external power adapters or configuration delays in demanding IT environments.
Constructed from durable, compact ABS plastic in an inline form factor with an RJ45 socket and short included cables for direct computer attachment, this self-powered module draws up to 500mA from the host USB port (not DisplayPort), supporting CAT5/5e/6 cabling for reliable signal transmission. It features advanced DDC/EDID emulation to prevent video distortion, transparent HID USB emulation, and a 3.5mm stereo audio output for CD-quality 2-channel sound, all in a lightweight, server-mountable design ideal for rack-dense setups with minimal maintenance.
Tailored 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 systems featuring Mini DisplayPort such as Apple Mac Pro or ATI Radeon graphics cards, it integrates seamlessly with PCs, Macs, and Unix for scalable, future-proof AV/IT ecosystems.
