Adder CATx USB Computer Access Module: Self-Powered CAM for Secure ...
The Adder CATx USB Computer Access Module (CAM) simplifies secure, high-performance KVM integration by enabling seamless connection of USB-enabled computers to Adder switches and extenders over standard CATx cabling, ensuring BIOS-level access without delays or power hassles. Key benefits include effortless plug-and-play deployment for rapid setup, reliable signal transmission up to 300m for flexible remote management, and Adder Keep Alive technology that maintains active keyboard/mouse inputs, preventing disruptions during channel switching in multi-server environments.
Constructed from tough, durable ABS material with a compact inline design housing an RJ45 connector, this self-powered module draws energy directly from the connected CATx cable (CAT5e/6/7), eliminating the need for external adapters and supporting robust, maintenance-free operation. It features precise DDC emulation for optimal video quality and transparent USB 2.0 emulation for peripherals, all encased in a lightweight, server-mountable form factor ideal for dense rack setups.
Ideal for data centers, broadcast facilities, IT control rooms, and enterprise server farms, it excels in applications like multi-platform server switching, extended-distance diagnostics, and hybrid local/remote access. Fully compatible with all Adder CATx devices including ADDERLink X100/X200 extenders, ADDERView CATx 1000/4000/5000IP switches, and RDX 1000/5000IP series, it supports diverse systems such as PCs, Macs, Sun, and Linux/Unix for scalable, future-proof KVM ecosystems.
