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

Built from tough ABS plastic in a compact inline form factor with an integrated RJ45 socket, this self-powered module draws energy directly from the CATx connection, eliminating external supplies and supporting durable, maintenance-free operation. It features precise DDC emulation for optimal VGA video quality up to 1920x1200@60Hz, transparent PS2 emulation for peripherals, and optional stereo audio passthrough, all in a lightweight, server-mountable design ideal for dense rack configurations.

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 (USB, DisplayPort, SUN, Serial), it integrates with PCs, Sun, and Unix systems for scalable, future-proof KVM ecosystems.
