Adder X100-USB/P-US – AdderLink X100 USB KVM Extender Kit

Product Overview

The Adder X100-USB/P-US is a complete USB KVM extender kit that relocates a USB keyboard, mouse and VGA display up to 100m (330ft) from the host computer over a single CATx cable. The kit pairs an AdderLink X100R receiver with a CATx USB computer access module and a US power supply, making it a practical VGA KVM extension solution for operators who need the workstation in one room and the computer in another. As a KVM extender over CAT5 for control rooms, equipment closets and industrial floors, it delivers uncompressed video with signal compensation so image quality holds up across the full link distance.

Product Description

In many commercial environments the computer does not belong at the desk. Fan noise, heat, physical security and maintenance access all argue for keeping the PC in a rack or secure room while the operator works elsewhere. The X100-USB/P-US solves this with a transmitter-side computer access module that plugs directly into the host's VGA and USB ports and a compact metal receiver at the user position.

The link runs over standard Category 5, 5e, 6 or 7 unshielded twisted pair cable, so installers can use existing structured cabling rather than pulling dedicated video runs. Video resolutions of 1600 x 1200 are achievable at the full 100m distance, with 1900 x 1440 supported up to 50m (165ft). Adjustable signal compensation and brightness correction at the receiver keep the image crisp at long cable lengths.

Full DDC emulation means high-performance video cards negotiate resolutions correctly through the link, and continuous USB keyboard and mouse emulation keeps the host stable even when peripherals are disconnected at the remote end. The system is operating-system independent, working with Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS and more.

• Broadcast studios separating noisy workstations from on-air environments
• Training rooms driven from a centralized equipment rack
• Commercial meeting spaces with remote source equipment
• Multi-purpose rooms requiring a clean, PC-free presenter position

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the X100-USB/P-US require software or drivers?
No. The extender is hardware-based and operating-system independent, so it works with Windows, Linux, Mac OS and other platforms without drivers.

What cable should I run between the transmitter module and the receiver?
A single Category 5, 5e, 6 or 7 twisted pair cable terminated with RJ45 connectors. Existing structured cabling can typically be reused.

Can I extend audio with this kit?
This model carries keyboard, video and mouse only. The X100 family includes audio-capable variants (such as the X100A models) if stereo audio extension is required.

Is the local computer access module powered separately?
The compact CAM draws its power from the host computer's ports; the included PSU powers the receiver at the user position.

Will high resolutions negotiate correctly through the link?
Yes. The X100 fully emulates DDC, so the source graphics card reads display capabilities correctly even over the extended link.

Who do I contact for pre-sales or integration help?
The Creation Networks AV team can assist with system design, compatibility questions and volume pricing for Adder KVM extension deployments.
