USB Extenders

Icron USB extenders allow you to extend the distance between a USB device and a computer for when the factory length of a USB device isn't enough, or you need to extend to a second location. The USB extender can offer that extension you may need for 5 to 100 meters, and even further when extending over fiber.

A USB extender typically consists of two parts: a transmitter and a receiver, with the local Lex being connected to the host computer and the remote Rex connected to the USB device.
