Powerful High-Speed USB Twisted Pair Extension with Matrix Switching
USB Extender xi Series
Twisted Pair Extenders for USB
The USB Extender xi Series extends and switches USB signals from peripheral devices to a host computer up to 1,980 ft (600 m) through a Gigabit Ethernet network or up to 330 ft (100 m) point-to-point over one CATx cable. It supports High-Speed (USB 2) and earlier USB peripherals, including keyboards, mice, mass storage devices, and webcams. The transmitter can be powered by the host computer or the included power supply and includes USB peripheral emulation to enable trouble-free booting of a host computer that is not connected to a keyboard or mouse. The receiver features a built-in, active four-port hub with up to 500 mA of power per port.
To simplify system-wide USB switching and management, the USB xi Matrix Controller provides a simple management interface for creating USB switching systems using up to 64 USB Extender xi Series transmitters and receivers. Any AV control processor can easily control USB switching using SIS commands sent via Ethernet or RS-232. Together, the controller and USB Extender xi Series products create a distributed USB matrix switching system that can span a single room or an entire building and can be configured quickly using Extron's PCS - Product Configuration Software. The USB Extender xi Series is ideal for a wide variety of environments requiring extension and switching of USB signals with data rates up to High-Speed, including courtrooms, conference and meeting spaces, classrooms, and lecture halls.
