8-Port USB + Audio - Command & Control
Contact Us
The Adder CCS-PRO8 enables users to interact with up to 8 computers using a single mouse. The operator can simply move the cursor across screen borders to instantly select the computer they need to control, providing the experience of a single desktop - a great saving in both time and desk space.


Adder CCS-PRO8 Features
Seamless switching with Adder Free-Flow technology
Free-Flow allows users to automatically switch between target computers simply by moving the mouse pointer from screen to screen. Unlike software-only variants, no software or networking is required on your mission critical computers for Free-Flow to work.
Improved desk ergonomics
With only one keyboard and mouse required to operate eight computer systems, the desk space can be made more ergonomically effective and reduces the time taken for operators to multiplex to different systems.
Multi-Monitor Free-Flow
The CCS-PRO8 system is able to support up to eight monitors per computer. To enable Free-Flow on multi-monitor computers, a driver must be installed on the target computer. This feature is currently available for Windows computers only.
External control options
The CCS-PRO8 unit can be controlled and switched via hotkeys, mouse clicks, Ethernet, Serial RS232 or remote 3 button mouse. Optionally, you can also use the RC8 remote switch to make your selection. With the open API, the unit can be easily set up and integrated into 3rd party systems.
Instant switching with True USB Emulation
Adder's True USB Emulation technology overcomes limitations of other KVM switches by emulating the true character of the connected devices to all the computers simultaneously. This means that you can use the extra function keys, wheels, buttons and controls, without sacrificing switching times.
Independent simultaneous device selection
Switching options enable you to use the keyboard and mouse on one computer whilst your USB peripherals and speakers are independently connected to different computers. You can of course still switch all the connected devices to any one of the connected computers.
Screen illumination module
The CCS-XB8 illumination module is an optional accessory which connects to the CCS-PRO8. It gives users the option to have a LED indicator positioned on each screen to identify which screen is currently controlling. The color and intensity can be controlled for each screen. A maximum of ten LED indicators can be supported.
Redundant power
For mission critical applications, CCS-PRO8 now supports dual power inlets (Dual-AC). If one source fails, the CCS-PRO8 will switch sources to the other power supply, so as not to interrupt normal use of the connected servers.
Keep-alive function
Users have the option to choose which computers stay alive. This prevents target computers from sleeping while not in use.
Audio Mixing
Users can choose which source audio to hear. Nominate all or your own choice of computer(s) audio, no matter which computer you are using.

Adder CCS-PRO8-US Specifications
| Mechanical | |
| Height | 30mm/1.2" |
| Width | 433mm/17" |
| Depth | 158mm/6.2" |
| Power | Toby 3 pin jack x 2 (one power adapter included),100-240VAC 50/60Hz, 0.7A, input to power adapter. 12VDC, 18W output from power adapter. |
| Compatibility | |
| Hardware compatibility | All computers equipped with certified USB 2.0 (or USB 1.1) connections. |
| Software compatibility | All known operating systems for single screens except Linux operating systems, which often have no native support for absolute mouse positioning. Free-Flow works by reporting absolute mouse coordinates. If you wish to use Free-Flow with a Linux operating system then a Udev rule needs to be applied. See the firmware updates page on our website for details. Free-Flow Configuration and firmware upgrade programs are available for use with Windows only |
| Computer Connections | Audio 3.5mm in x 4, USB2.0 type B x 8. |
| User Console Connections | Audio 3.5mm out x 1, USB type A x 2 (Console- USB2.0 Low and Full Speed), USB type A x2 (Enumerated USB2.0.). |
| USB specification for console connection | Supports up to six Low or Full Speed devices. Keyboards which support multiple devices behind a hub can now be supported. The USB class of the supported devices on the console port is limited to HID devices only. It is not possible to use other USB devices e.g. card readers, memory sticks or touch screens on the console port. These devices need to be connected to the enumerated USB ports on the switch. |
CCS-PRO8 is also known as the CCS-PRO8-US and CCS-PRO8-USA.
