Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P vs IOGEAR CS1924A: which one fits your build
The Adder Technology 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 the wrong buy for multi-monitor workstations needing dual-head DVI, where the ALIF2112T fits better and HDMI or DisplayPort-based workstations. The same goes for 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 IOGEAR CS1924A suits government and enterprise buyers needing TAA-compliant high-resolution KVM hardware. It is equally the pick for professional desks with a single 8K-capable monitor shared across four computers. It is not the one for dual-monitor workstations, the CS1942DPA covers that need across two computers instead of four. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P (7/10): A capable enterprise DVI network extender pair, priced for serious IP KVM matrix deployments rather than single-room extension.
