ADDERLink XD-C650 for Emerson. Using either fiber optic or CATx The choice of fiber used with the ADDERLink SE2500-KIT7 modules has a considerable ® effect on the distance over which operation can take place. Using multi-mode fiber you links, these compact modules allow you to extend KVM connections over long distances from a host computer (see Transmission distances when using fiber on the right).
