Extron Electronics has announced the immediate availability of the Fox USB Extender Plus, which extends signals from USB peripheral devices over fibre optic cabling.
The extender supports USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices with data rates up to 480 Mbps. Used in conjunction with an Extron Fox Series DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA extender, the Fox USB Extender Plus is capable of transmitting Keyboard-Video-Mouse - KVM signals very long distances over a fibre optic infrastructure.
Direct connection of USB peripherals to a remote host eliminates the need for additional IP network drops, equipment, software, or drivers.
