AdderLink X-Series USB Extender Plus Stereo Audio

The Adder X-USB-A couples high resolution video transmission with advanced USB extension technology to provide an innovative console extension solution.  Using Extreme USBTM technology, the X-USB-A enables all USB 1.1 compatible devices to be extended over 120 meters of CATx (x=3,4,5,5e,6) cable. The same cable carries high definition video signals at resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 and advanced finely adjustable cable equalization ensures a sharp picture quality.  This feature of the X-USB-A extender enables a complete desktop to be located remotely, including a keyboard, monitor, mouse, graphics tablet, touch screen, disk drive, flash memory stick, webcam, and any other device that would normally be plugged into your computer's USB port.

The X-USB receiver unit includes an integral 4 port USB hub to enable you to connect a multiplicity of devices. More devices may also be connected by cascading USB hubs if necessary. Most USB 2.0 devices will work in USB 1.1 mode and so almost all USB devices are supported by the X-USB extender.  Audio features may be supported via the USB link or, alternatively, a second CATx cable may be connected to provide high fidelity stereo audio and microphone support via standard PC-style audio jacks.  To ensure high compatibility across a wide range of devices, the X-USB is fitted with DDC (Display Data Channel) support and advanced spike suppression circuits. DDC functions are required for Sun and high resolution video card compatibility and the spike suppression circuits increase reliability in electrically noisy installations.

Other X-Series units may be used to provide multi-head extension solutions and the AdderView Prism may be used to provide local access to the computer. The X-SKEW compensator may be used to compensate any color skew effects introduced by certain types of long CATx cable.
