Adder X100-PS2/P-US – AdderLink X100 PS/2 KVM Extender Kit

Product Overview

The Adder X100-PS2/P-US is a complete AdderLink X100 PS/2 KVM extender kit — X100 receiver, CATx PS/2 access module, and US power supply — that extends keyboard, mouse, and high-quality VGA video up to 100m (330ft) over Category 5 or higher UTP cable. It is the dependable choice for facilities that still run PS/2-based equipment and need a PS/2 KVM extender over CAT5, a VGA KVM extender kit with access module, or a remote console for hardware that must stay in a secured or climate-controlled room. The X100 family is known for industry-leading video clarity and compatibility in the short-haul extension class.

Product Description

The AdderLink X100 series was designed for applications where KVM control needs extending no more than 100m (330ft). This kit pairs the X100 receiver — the remote user station with HD-15 video and MiniDin6 PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports — with the compact PS/2 computer access module that plugs into the host computer's video and PS/2 ports at the rack end.

Video performance leads the short-haul class: resolutions of 1600 x 1200 are achievable at the full 100m (330ft), and 1900 x 1440 at up to 50m (165ft). Signal compensation provides smooth, fine picture adjustment over the cable run, and built-in brightness correction keeps images crisp, clear, and bright. Full emulated DDC support lets high-performance video cards run at high resolutions through the link — something many basic extenders cannot do.

The extender is fully transparent to the host: all known operating systems are supported, including Windows, DOS, Linux, Unix, BSD, Sun OS, Solaris, Mac OS, and NetWare, with no drivers required. The remote unit's compact all-metal case (123 x 74 x 26mm) sits on a desk or mounts to an X-RMK-FASCIA rack plate, and the local module's small plastic enclosure with 340mm cables tucks neatly behind the computer. This base model is KVM-only; audio-equipped (X100A-PS2/P) and USB variants are available alongside the rest of the Adder Technology collection at Creation Networks.
