Who each one is for
The Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P suits 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. It is equally the pick for buyers wanting a complete matched transmitter/receiver pair rather than individual nodes. It is not the one for small single-room extension budgets, where the Emerald EMD2000PE-T costs roughly half as much. Buy the Rose Electronics Rose CRK-2DFSUD2D for critical infrastructure requiring maximum reach and redundancy and national security and utility control centers, though it is not built for standard-distance or single-link deployments and cost-sensitive facilities. 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. Our rating of the Rose Electronics Rose CRK-2DFSUD2D (8.7/10): the most capable extender in Rose's lineup for facilities that need both 10km reach and redundancy; priced accordingly for critical infrastructure only.
