Which should you buy, Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T or Rose Electronics Rose CRK-2DFSUD2D?
The Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T suits 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 Rose Electronics Rose CRK-2DFSUD2D is the one to take for critical infrastructure requiring maximum reach and redundancy and national security and utility control centers, though it is not the pick for standard-distance or single-link deployments and cost-sensitive facilities. 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 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.
