Crestron USB-EXT-2 KIT

he Crestron® USB over Category Cable Extenders (USB‑EXT‑2‑LOCAL and USB‑EXT‑2‑REMOTE) deliver reliable, high‑speed USB signal extension for USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices in a conference room, classroom, auditorium, command center, medical facility, public space, or residence. Without requiring any special configuration or drivers, the USB extenders enable wire runs up to 330 ft (100 m) over a single CAT5e (or better) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. The USB extenders support most USB device types and are plug‑and‑play compatible with computers running Windows®, macOS®, and Linux® operating systems.

Two types of USB extenders are available:

USB‑EXT-2‑REMOTE - Provides connectivity for up to two USB devices (keyboards, whiteboards, mobile devices, etc.) at one location
USB‑EXT-2‑LOCAL - Provides connectivity for a single USB host (computer, media server, codec, etc.)

Linking the two extenders requires one run of CAT5e unshielded twisted-pair cable.2 Both extenders are powered by a single 100-240 VAC power supply, which can be connected at either end to an AC power receptacle.3 The USB‑EXT‑2‑LOCAL and USB‑EXT‑2‑REMOTE are compatible with the USB over Category Cable Extender Wall Plates (USB‑EXT‑2‑LOCAL‑1G and USB‑EXT‑2‑REMOTE‑1G).

Note: The USB‑EXT-2‑LOCAL and USB‑EXT-2‑REMOTE are simple point-to-point USB signal extenders. They do not switch or route USB signals, and do not connect to a network. For KVM and other applications routing USB signals over an Ethernet network, please refer to the USB over Category Cable Extenders (USB‑NX2‑LOCAL‑1G and USB‑NX2‑REMOTE‑1G) or the USB over Ethernet Extenders with Routing (USB‑EXT‑DM‑LOCAL and USB‑EXT‑DM‑REMOTE).2
