Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T vs Vertiv (Avocent) Vertiv Cybex SC800 Secure: which one fits your build
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 Vertiv (Avocent) Vertiv Cybex SC800 Secure is the one to take for 8-machine secure setups replacing older DVI-based secure switches and facilities standardizing on 4K-capable secure desktops, though it is not the pick for sites still running DVI-only servers (use the SC840DVI-400) and commercial desks that don't require formal certification. It is equally the pick for government and defense desks with modern DisplayPort/HDMI hardware needing NIAP certification. 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 Vertiv (Avocent) Vertiv Cybex SC800 Secure (9/10): A certified 8-port secure switch for modern DisplayPort/HDMI desks, at a lower price than its DVI sibling.
