Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Adder X50 USB
extenders which provide a very effective way to put
distance between your computer and its peripherals.
The compact casings and ease of use of the Adder
X50 modules belie the ingenuity of their operation.
Using our proprietary transmission techniques we
are able to reliably transfer more signals than ever
before along a single length of Category 5, 5e or
6 twisted pair cabling. What this means for you is
that your video, audio, USB keyboard, USB mouse
and two other USB channels are all readily and
reliably available at up to 50 metres away.
Using the Adder X50 extenders does not mean
that you need to compromise on functionality in
any way. Our highly efficient transmission methods
mean that high video resolutions of up to 1920
x 1440 are supported together with CD quality
digital sound that produces no crackles - even
in the quietest interludes. The USB connections
are seamless and thanks to our unique ‘Bi-tripos’
circuitry, four full speed USB 2.0 devices can
be used simultaneously with full support for
disconnect/re-connect at any time without causing
errors.
The Adder X50 extenders have been designed to be
quick to install and totally transparent in operation.
All connectors are industry standard and the video
sharpness adjustments are made using a simple
rotary dial.
Where dual screens are required, an MS2 variant
provides double video channels in addition to full
support for an RS232 serial device. So whether you
are extending your workplace or creating a costeffective distributed audio visual system, the X50
extenders provide the power and flexibility to create
the right solution.

Secondary video, RS232 serial and a second link cable are available only with the X50 MS2 variant

Connections
Installation of the X50 modules is straightforward with minimal configuration
requirements in most cases.
• Connections at the local module
• Connections at the remote module
Important
Do not attach a USB hub to the X50 remote, nor plug the X50 local module into
another USB hub. To do so will reduce the maximum cable length over which the
system will extend USB; also, some USB hubs may not provide enough power to
operate the local unit.
Mounting
The X50 modules offer two main mounting methods:
• Supplied four self-adhesive rubber feet
• Rack mount brackets - see below
