Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T vs Raritan SS4-104-DUAL: which one fits your build
Buy the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments across many rooms and HDMI workstations needing centralized network-routed access, though it is the wrong buy for small single-room point-to-point extension needs and DisplayPort or 4K/5K workstation resolutions. The Raritan SS4-104-DUAL suits classified analyst workstations needing two isolated monitors per source and government facilities requiring NIAP PP4.0 dual-head secure switching, though it is not the pick for single-monitor secure desks (the RSS4-104 is cheaper) and commercial desks with no certification requirement. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T (8/10): A strong HDMI-based enterprise IP KVM transmitter for buyers already invested in the ADDERLink Infinity ecosystem. Our rating of the Raritan SS4-104-DUAL (8.7/10): the dual-monitor answer for secure analyst workstations, with the same rigorous per-channel isolation as Raritan's single-head model.
