subject: Icron Usb Ranger Extenders Available For Global Deployment [print this page] Icron USB Rangers were originally used for industrial automation, digital signage and point-of sale marketing. Today, lower prices make this USB Extender manufactured by Icron Technologies an affordable option for homeowners and small businesses. This popular solution for connecting PC video and USB devices is also now available globally to consumers in North America, Europe and Australia. They are expanding into South America and Asia in the near future. This article reviews why the Icron USB Extender is such a popular device. Icrons USB Ranger extender is used to connect USB devices to another system using any number of different media connections.
The most commonly deployed solution connects USB devices using Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6, COAX or Fiber network cable to connect over the local area network. There are ICRON solutions that work wirelessly too. However, perhaps the most popular method for the users is to use standard UTP cables to connect the devices. This eliminates the need to purchase a wireless device or to weave long bulky cables around desks or through ceiling/floor joists. These units are deployed in a wide range of applications such as digital home connectivity, industrial automation, medical imaging, aerospace, interactive digital signage, remote desktop extension, security and surveillance, enterprise computing, isolated USB, and point-of-sale markets.
Basically, wherever a host computer has to be remotely located from a monitor, USB printer or similar USB device, then Icrons USB Extender Ranger is an ideal solution. The Icron USB Ranger 2101 is a good place to start evaluating these USB extenders as it is a single port device able to extend USB 2.0 beyond the desktop up to 328 feet over standard Cat5e/6 UTP cable using ExtremeUSB technology. The Ranger 2101 supports USB 2.0 devices at speeds up to 480 Mb/s over a distance of 100m/328 feet. This is double the speed and distance of earlier USB extender solutions.
They do require a power source so plan on that when its time to install your new USB extender.
