The Adderlink X-USBPRO-MS2-US is a Dual VGA, Audio and 4-port USB Extender over CATx. It is a Dual Head VGA, Audio and 4-port USB hub (full speed) that extends up to 300 meters over two CATx cables.
Adder's next generation USB, video and audio extender delivers sharp, bright and high resolution video images and high quality audio for multi screen desktops at distances up to 300m (1000ft) over CATx cables. The AdderLink X-USB PRO MS has been designed to provide industry leading video clarity, compatibility and high rack densities.

The X-USBPRO-MS2 KVM extension system supports crisp and clear industry leading VGA video - high resolution 1920 x 1200 is achievable at up to 300 meters (1000ft). This is achievable by including a variable noise filter which overcomes issues introduced by increased gain as the length of the cable increases over 200 meters (650ft).
A Multi-pole compensation technique is used to enable superb video quality at maximum distance over a single cable. For the first time, adjustment can be made for cable type and cable length with further color skew compensation and gain adjustment to ensure crystal clear images, all from the receiver's keyboard.
The X-USB extends USB 2.0 (low and full speed) allowing all USB compatible accessories (including isochronous devices) to be extended. The receiver unit has a built in 4 port USB hub to enable a complete desktop to be located remotely, including a keyboard, monitor, mouse, diskdrive, flash memory stick, webcam, and any other device that would normally be plugged into your computer's USB port.
For local control of the connected computer, the ADDERLink X-USBPRO-MS2 also provides local feed trough ports for audio and video at the transmitter unit.
This X-USBPRO-MS2 extender supports full two page DDC EDID, which some high performance video cards require or they will not deliver optimal performance or work at all.
Two X-USB PRO units can be linked to a single computer so two users can access the computer at exactly the same time. When using two sets of X-USB PRO modules to allow two users to access a single computer the arbitration between the users is handled by the USB sub-system of the computer - resulting keyboard and mouse influences will be an amalgam of the two inputs.
2 channel 16 bit stereo audio sampled at 44.1KHz (CD quality) is transferred from local to remote for a line out / speakers use case.
Both transmitter and receiver units can be used stand-alone or up to 8 units to can be mounted into a 2U 19" chassis (X-RMK-CHASSIS).
The ADDER X-USBPRO-MS2 supports fully transparent USB connections and is able to support all common hardware platforms including PC, Sun and MAC and their associated peripherals.
Installation is straightforward and there is no need for any extra drivers or software to be installed.
