The two variants of the CATX Dual Access Module are highly compact devices that allow you to share a single
computer between two sets of peripheral devices. The CATX-USB-DA variant is not fitted with audio or serial
ports but is otherwise identical to the CATX-USBA-DA model.
The module connects to various ports on your computer. You then connect it via CAT 5, 5e or 6 cabling to
AdderView CATx KVM switches and/or Adder extender receivers (either AdderLink X2 Silver or X200), each of
which can be located up to 300 metres from the module. Your video displays, keyboard, mice and speakers
are linked to the remote devices.
The CATX Dual Access Module uses a USB port to derive its power from the host computer, dispensing with
the need for a separate power supply and thus simplifying installation.

Safety information
• For use in dry, oil free indoor environments only.
• Do not use to link between buildings.
• Not suitable for use in hazardous or explosive
environments or next to highly flammable
materials.
• Ensure that all twisted pair interconnect cables
are installed in compliance with all applicable
wiring regulations.
• Do not connect the CATx link interface (RJ45
style connector) to any other equipment,
particularly network or telecommunications
equipment.
• Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair
link cable(s) alongside power cables.
• Do not attempt to service the module yourself.
• The modules do not provide ground isolation
and should not be used for any applications
that require ground isolation or galvanic
isolation.
• For correct operation, the transmitter
and receiver modules must have ground
connections. At the computer end, this is
achieved by ensuring that the computer that
the module is connected to has a ground
connection. At the audio/visual device end, this
can be achieved by ensuring that the power
supply is connected to a grounded power
outlet. Alternatively, a ground connection will
be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself
grounded.
