The Icron USB Rover 2650 targets low-cost commercial end user applications.
It provides all the flexibility of extended range USB in a ready-to-use package.
The USB Rover 2650 provides support for a single remote device or hub. The
USB Rover 2650 is optimized for applications where two devices, such as a
keyboard and mouse, must be operated remotely. Icron USB Rover 2650 products operate over standard Category 5 UTP cable (the
same wiring used in Ethernet). The technology behind the product requires no
additional software for either the computer or the target devices.
Icron USB Rover 2650 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. Category 5 UTP cabling is used to connect the LEX and
REX units over a distance of up to 50 m/164 ft. The Icron USB Rover 2650 is
powered from USB and delivers enough power at the remote unit to drive most USB
devices.
