Verdict
Adder Technology Adder ALIF1002P
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable enterprise DVI network extender pair, priced for serious IP KVM matrix deployments rather than single-room extension.
SmartAVI DVN-4PDVNET-4P
5 / 10 Expert Rating
Fine as clearance stock to match existing hardware, but discontinued status makes it a poor first choice for new installs.
