flexibility of USB 2.0 in a easy-to-use package. The USB Ranger 442 is optimized for applications where

Further Explanation...
Icron's
USB Ranger
products are composed of two separate units: the Local EXtender (LEX) and
the Remote EXtender (REX). Conventional USB cables are used to connect the LEX
unit to the host computer and to connect the remote USB device to the REX
unit. Standard Fiber Optic cabling (multimode duplex) is used to connect the LEX and REX units
over a distance of up to 500 meters (1600+ feet).
The USB Ranger 442 is powered from power adapters included in the package
and delivers the same power as a normal USB port on a PC.
Practical Applications
We had a customer who
wanted to connect their new KIP scanner (www.kipamerica.com), but the
device only connected through USB. They used one of our USB
Extenders to connect it so they could scan their architectural plans, via
USB, to a PC on the other side of their office, which was over 200ft away.
It has worked flawlessly since it was installed.
Fiber Choices
For customer who only want to run their device up to 1,000ft, can
use Multimode Duplex Fiber (62.5/125).
But, to run it up to 1650ft, it will require you to use Multimode Duplex
(50/125).

Frequently Asked
Questions
What does "LEX" and "REX" stand for? What do they do?
LEX stands for Local EXtender.
REX stands for Remote EXtender.
These two units comprise a standard Icron Extension solution. The LEX
unit interfaces to the host PC via a Type-B USB connector. The LEX
interfaces to the REX unit over the extension media (Cat-5 UTP, Fiber,
etc.) and the REX unit provides connectivity for one or more USB devices
at the remote location.
Can
I daisy-chain ExtremeUSB systems together for longer reach?
No, it is not possible to daisy chain
multiple ExtremeUSB systems together. Only a single LEX and REX pair can
be connected to a host PC to ensure proper operation.
Can
the CAT-5 based USB Extenders operate through a standard Ethernet hub,
switch or router?
No. Icron's USB extenders do not use
standard Ethernet over the Cat-5 link and are not compatible with
Ethernet hubs, switches or routers. The link protocol used is
proprietary and operates only as a dedicated point-to-point connection.
What is the CAT-5 pin out for my product?
Most Icron products use two out of the
four pairs in a standard Cat-5 UTP cable. Icron uses pins 4,5 and 7,8 on
the RJ-45 connector. This is a standard straight-through connection. The
Rover 1650 and 2650 units are the only exceptions. Both of these
products use all four pairs of the UTP cable.
