Adder X100/X200 extenders

One extender required per remote user. X200 units are similar to X100 except that they can accommodate

a second link to another switch or computer. X200 units also have USB connections rather than PS/2-style keyboard and mouse ports. Three different variants are available for each X100 or X200 unit - AS/R variants have audio and video skew circuitry to overcome extreme video degradation problems. A/R variants lack the skew circuitry and R variants do not have skew circuitry or audio. Each module is supplied with its own power adapter and country-specific power lead.
