Adder ALIF1002P Review
The Adder ALIF1002P is a matched DVI KVM-over-IP extender pair, transmitter plus receiver, running over Gigabit Ethernet at up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz with single-mode fiber reach listed to 10000 m.
This kit bundles both ends of an Adder network DVI link, so you do not have to buy a separate transmitter and receiver. It handles one computer and one display at up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, with two USB hub ports at USB 2.0 speed, plus audio. The network side is Gigabit Ethernet that can be routed as part of a larger matrix. It needs external power. The DVI-only video limits it to workstations that still use DVI.
A Complete, Matched Enterprise Pair
The ALIF1002P bundles a matched transmitter and receiver for network-routed DVI extension, letting facilities scale DVI-based KVM access across an IP network with Adder's full ADDERLink Infinity Manager software suite rather than piecing together individual nodes.
Priced for Enterprise Deployments
As a complete pair, this sits well above the Emerald EMD2000PE-T's DVI-D PE line and the discontinued SmartAVI FDX-2000S, reflecting Adder's enterprise IP KVM matrix management capability rather than simple point-to-point extension.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Emerald EMD2000PE-T covers similar DVI-D KVM-over-IP extension with PoE for roughly half the price, a better fit for smaller deployments. ADDERLink's own dual-link ALIF2112T (also in this catalog) steps up to dual-head DVI for multi-monitor workstations.
Our verdict

Expert rating7 / 10
A capable enterprise DVI network extender pair, priced for serious IP KVM matrix deployments rather than single-room extension.
Best for
- Enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments centered on DVI video
- Facilities already using Adder's ADDERLink Infinity Manager
- Buyers wanting a complete matched transmitter/receiver pair rather than individual nodes
Not for
- Small single-room extension budgets, where the Emerald EMD2000PE-T costs roughly half as much
- Multi-monitor workstations needing dual-head DVI, where the ALIF2112T fits better
- HDMI or DisplayPort-based workstations
