KVM-jatko Icron Ranger 2301 lähetin ja vastaanotin

The Icron Ranger 2301 is a single‑port USB 2.0 high‑speed extender solution that enables USB 2.0 connectivity at up to 480 Mbps over a single run of CAT5e/6/7 cabling up to 100 m (330 ft). It provides full device and host support and includes Mass Storage Acceleration to improve bulk transfer speeds compared with previous‑generation extenders. The product consists of transmitter and receiver units with USB Type‑A ports and is intended for wired KVM and USB extension in remote workstation and embedded applications.

Advantages

The Ranger 2301 supports high‑speed USB 2.0 rates over long distances using standard Ethernet cable, offers compatibility with both host and device endpoints, and includes technology to accelerate mass storage transfers. Its single‑port design and USB Type‑A connectors simplify connection to keyboards, mice, flash drives and other USB peripherals. The extender is powered from standard AC mains (100–240 V input range) and comes in a neutral grey colour.

Suitable for

• Extending keyboard and mouse connections for remote workstations
• Connecting USB peripherals (flash drives, printers, scanners) over long distances
• Industrial and embedded applications requiring USB extension up to 100 m
• Environments where full host and device USB 2.0 support is required

How to use

Install the transmitter near the USB host (PC) and the receiver near the remote USB device or workstation. Connect the host to the transmitter USB Type‑A port and the peripheral to the receiver USB Type‑A port. Link transmitter and receiver with a single run of CAT5e/6/7 cable up to 100 m. Plug the units into AC mains power (100–240 V) and power them on. The extender is plug‑and‑play with standard USB drivers; allow the host to enumerate the connected device. For best results, use shielded or quality-rated Ethernet cable and avoid sharp bends or electrical interference sources.

Recommendations

For reliable high‑speed transfers, use good‑quality CAT5e or higher cabling and keep cable runs within the 100 m limit. When using mass storage devices, verify that the host recognises the accelerated transfer mode and ensure both transmitter and receiver have stable power from the specified AC input range.
