The AC-EXUSB-3-KIT inputs four USB devices via USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A female ports, and with proven stable HDBaseT technology, transports any combination of up to four USB 3.2 Gen 1, 2.0, 1.0 signals to a distance as great as 100 meters (328 feet) using CAT 6A (HDBaseT recommends CAT 6A; CAT 5e may also be used, but the total extension distance may be decreased to about 70 meters).
The Device end of this two-piece extension kit conveniently functions as a hub, connecting as many as four peripherals in any combination to the strategically located Host unit. Mixed USB signal standards may be used simultaneously, complementing the A/V pedigree of the AC-EXUSB-3-KIT. The kit’s compact form factor and your choice of which unit to power from makes for easy placement possibilities.
AVPro Edge is an expert in extending HDMI signals, able to send demanding 8K content an industry-best of nearly 1,000 feet flawlessly. However, USB signals are a different breed, with USB 3.X limited by passive cabling to a mere nine feet. Yikes! But our video heritage comes to the rescue when nine feet won’t do.
Our understanding of the precision necessary for successful packetized data transport was honed during the development of the AVPro Edge MXnet AV-over-IP Ecosystems. Add to that the intrinsic library of knowledge gained from the ground-up engineering of our best-in-class network switches, all of which carries over to all AVPro Edge products tasked with data packetization and throughput transport extension. Office and Huddle Room Conference Soundbars present an inordinately burdensome load on USB extension devices, combining microphones with speakers for audio, 4K web cameras, and computer interoperability via USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity, all hauntingly similar to AV-o-IP. The AC-EXUSB-3-KIT excels at being tasked as the USB pipeline to deliver these signals safely and unaltered to any location in the largest meeting areas.
