ADDER CAT-X Dongle DVI-D USB KVM Extender Computer Access Module

Extending high-quality video and USB keyboard/mouse signals over long distances can be a challenge in professional AV and IT environments. The ADDER CAT-X Dongle solves this by converting a computer's DVI-D video and USB HID signals into a format that travels reliably over standard CATx cabling, enabling remote console access up to 300 metres away.

Who is it for

This dongle is ideal for system administrators, broadcast engineers, and control room operators who need to manage computers from a distance without sacrificing video clarity or USB responsiveness. It is a perfect companion for existing AdderLink CATX series KVM extenders.
