USB Extenders

Communicate USB data up to 500 meters (1640 feet) "legally"
The USB standard calls for a maximum range of 5 meters, but you can extend this useful protocol up to 100 meters (330 feet) over standard UTP cabling and up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on fiber using these devices. They are fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification and deliver all of the benefits of USB, including remote device powering, Plug-and-play operation, and cross-platform flexibility. Complete with power supplies and 1 meter USB cable when required.

Using Icron's ExtremeUSB® technology, USB is no longer limited to the desktop range of 5m. Icron USB extension solutions can cover an entire campus with a range up to 10 km over fiber optic cable or up to 100 meters over UTP Cat 5 cable or 30 meters over wireless technology.

Ulinx™ USB extenders are composed of two separate units, the local extender and the remote extender. Use Category 5 UTP cabling to connect the extender units. U2EC50M extender supports USB 2.0 peripheral devices at speeds up to 480 Mbps over a distance of 50 meters (164 feet).
