USB extenders are specialised devices, designed to overcome the limitations of standard USB cables, allowing you to extend your USB connectivity over longer distances. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or a business looking to optimise your office – USB extenders can revolutionise the way you connect with the world.
What are USB Extenders?
USB extenders are ingenious devices that allow you to extend the reach of your USB connections. USB cables typically have a length limit of 5 meters. And this is not a lot if you’re trying to connect devices in different rooms.
These extenders act as intermediaries, bridging the gap between your USB devices and your computer or other host devices. Icron USB extenders consist of 2 devices: the local extender and a remote extender. The local extender is connected to the host computer or server, while the remote extender connects to your USB device. These two devices can then be connected via a link cable, such as fibre-optic, copper CATx and Local Area Networks (LAN).
USB extenders transmit USB signals over long distances while maintaining data integrity and transfer speeds. When you use a single-mode fibre as a link cable, you can extend the reach of your USB device by up to 10 kilometres!
Let’s say you’re trying to set up a home theatre system in your lounge. Imagine you have a computer or media player located in a separate room, away from your TV or projector. With a USB extender, you can connect USB devices, such as your keyboard and mouse, to the remote extender. These then communicate with the local extender connected to your computer. This allows you to interact with your computer from the comfort of your living room without compromising on quality. USB extenders are extremely convenient and help create a clutter-free environment in your home or office. They truly are an essential tool if you want to take your digital setup to the next level.
