Description
The EX-100-USB3 is an HDBaseT USB 3.2 Gen1 extender designed to transport high-speed USB signals over long distances – it provides point-to-point extension of USB hosts to multiple USB devices. It supports USB 3.2 Gen1 data rates up to 5Gbps to preserve device performance across the link. The unit is engineered for installations that require centralized host connections and remote device placement without sacrificing bandwidth.
Key features include support for USB 3.2 Gen1 5Gbps throughput, four downstream USB-A ports, and HDBaseT transport over a single RJ45 link – these features enable multiple peripherals to operate concurrently. The EX-100-USB3 also supports PoH+ power delivery up to 25.5 Watts to power connected USB devices at the receiver end. The extender preserves USB 3.0 camera and high-current device operation through its high-current outputs and full USB 3.2 signaling.
On performance, the extender maintains the 5Gbps USB 3.2 Gen1 specification end-to-end and is rated for reliable transmission distances up to 100m over the HDBaseT RJ45 link. Power consumption varies by load and the system uses a DC 20V 3A locking power supply when required. The product is optimized to support camera and peripheral power needs while minimizing signal degradation across the extended link.
Connectivity is straightforward with a single USB host connection on the transmitter and four USB-A ports plus an RJ45 interface on the receiver – the RJ45 carries both data and PoH+ power. The device adheres to USB 3.2 Gen1 standards to maximize compatibility with common USB peripherals. Control and device enumeration are handled transparently across the HDBaseT link for connected hosts and devices.
Typical applications include remote camera deployments, laboratory equipment consolidation, broadcast peripheral placement, and kiosk or POS systems where USB devices must be located away from the host. The EX-100-USB3 supports simultaneous operation of multiple USB devices while preserving bandwidth and power requirements. It is suitable for professional AV and broadcast environments requiring reliable long-distance USB connectivity.
Installation is plug-and-play for most environments and uses standard RJ45 connections and a locking DC power connector for secure power delivery when needed. Rack or surface mounting is supported via the supplied brackets to facilitate professional installations. The compact enclosure and robust connectors provide a stable platform for continuous operation in production environments.
Overall, the EX-100-USB3 offers a practical solution for extending USB 3.2 Gen1 signals with integrated PoH+ power and multiple downstream ports – it combines long-distance reach with the bandwidth required by high-data-rate USB devices. The design focuses on preserving device performance and simplifying system layouts in AV and broadcast installations. This extender provides a reliable link between USB hosts and remote peripherals where distance or placement constraints exist.
