The Adder CATx PS2 Computer Access Module (CAM) enables seamless, BIOS-level connections for PS/2-equipped computers to Adder CATx KVM switches and extenders over standard CATx cabling up to 300m, ensuring efficient multi-server management without power adapters or configuration delays. Key benefits include Adder Keep Alive technology that eliminates keyboard/mouse reconnection issues during channel switching, plug-and-play simplicity for rapid IT deployments, and reliable signal transmission for precise remote control, enhancing productivity in secure environments while reducing setup complexity and costs.

Constructed from durable ABS plastic in a compact inline form factor with an integrated RJ45 socket, this self-powered module draws energy directly from the CATx connection (CAT5e/6/7), eliminating external supplies and supporting maintenance-free operation. It features advanced DDC emulation for optimal VGA video quality up to 1920x1200@60Hz, transparent PS/2 emulation for peripherals, and optional stereo audio passthrough (CATX-PS2A variant), all in a lightweight, server-mountable design ideal for dense rack configurations and long-term reliability.

Ideal for data centers, broadcast facilities, legacy server rooms, and enterprise IT setups, it supports applications like extended-distance diagnostics, multi-platform server switching, and hybrid local/remote access. Fully compatible with AdderLink X100/X200 extenders, ADDERView CATx 1000/4000/5000IP switches, RDX 1000/5000IP series, and other CAM variants, it integrates with PCs, Sun, and Unix systems for scalable, future-proof KVM ecosystems.
