Ever need to leverage the plug-n-play ease of USB with extended coverage that current USB cables can’t handle? Well, the folks at Icron figured things out and developed something called ExtremeUSB Technology allowing you to span up to 1.2 miles away. Using Cat5 cabling, Fiber or wireless (most RF technologies) you can extended to cover an entire campus and still have your USB devices perform without a glitch. ExtremeUSB is the only USB-IF compliant extension solution available today and is fully transparent – no drivers, setup or configurations needed. ExtemeUSB supports USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices which is more then enough for HID (Human Input Devices) that run off USB. If you’re in one of the following fields or situations you should consider contacting Icron:

  • Remote desktops
  • Needing keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) extensions
  • Security and surveillance
  • Professional audio/video
  • Point-of-sale (POS)
  • Medical devices
  • Enterprise computing.

Further leverage the plug and play benefits of USB by integrating ExtremeUSB into your applications.
