Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P vs Adder Technology AdderView DDX10: Comparison
Adder ALIF1002P vs AdderView DDX10: the usb hub ports difference
On usb hub ports the spread is 50%, Adder ALIF1002P 2 against AdderView DDX10 1, so Adder ALIF1002P takes it. Computers supported is not the same on both, 1 computers on the Adder ALIF1002P versus Up to 9 computers on the AdderView DDX10. Kvm segment is not the same on both, Extender on the Adder ALIF1002P versus Rack on the AdderView DDX10.
Which should you buy, Adder ALIF1002P or AdderView DDX10?
The Adder ALIF1002P is the one to take for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments centered on DVI video and facilities already using Adder's ADDERLink Infinity Manager, though it is not built for multi-monitor workstations needing dual-head DVI, where the ALIF2112T fits better and HDMI or DisplayPort-based workstations. It also earns its place with buyers wanting a complete matched transmitter/receiver pair rather than individual nodes. It is the wrong buy for small single-room extension budgets, where the Emerald EMD2000PE-T costs roughly half as much. The AdderView DDX10 suits small server rooms or departments needing independent multi-user matrix access and facilities scaling into matrix KVM without the DDX30's larger cost, though it is not the pick for larger installations needing more than 9 computers (see the DDX30) and single-user desks that just need simple switching, not a matrix. The same goes for broadcast or lab setups with up to 9 computers and a few user stations. Our rating of the Adder ALIF1002P (7/10): A capable enterprise DVI network extender pair, priced for serious IP KVM matrix deployments rather than single-room extension. Our rating of the AdderView DDX10 (7/10): A right-sized entry point into true matrix KVM access for smaller installations that don't need the DDX30's full scale.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: max resolution single display, audio support, displays per computer and video standard are identical here.
