Description
The EXT3-U-R is a USB 2.0 receiver that converts a transmitted CAT signal into USB, RS-232 and analog audio outputs – providing extended-reach USB connectivity over a single twisted-pair CAT cable. It supports two-way power delivery to the remote node so connected peripherals remain powered according to system configuration. The unit is designed for stable USB 2.0 communication over extended distances.
The receiver supports multiple USB transfer modes including interrupt, bulk and isochronous communication and integrates a USB hub to present up to four USB 2.0 Type-A ports locally. It also extends a stereo unbalanced analog audio line via a 3.5mm jack and a bidirectional RS-232 interface for serial control. LED status indicators are included for visual troubleshooting and maintenance.
Performance specifications include USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps and a transmitted data bandwidth of up to 300 Mbps between transmitter and receiver. The extension line reach is up to 100m, 330ft over recommended twisted-pair Kramer cabling, and RS-232 is supported at a baud rate of 9600. Power is supplied by a 12V DC, 2A adapter and typical device consumption is 1500 mA at 12V DC.
Connectivity options include a single RJ-45 CAT input, four USB-A device ports, a 3.5mm stereo output and a 3-pin terminal block for RS-232. The integrated USB hub enables local attachment of cameras, touch panels, storage devices, HID devices and audio peripherals. Standards compliance includes USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 for broad peripheral compatibility.
Common applications include extending room cameras and soundbars in meeting rooms, upgrading meeting spaces for hybrid collaboration and providing reliable USB 2.0 links in education, corporate, manufacturing and medical settings. The analog audio pass-through and RS-232 control make the receiver suitable for AV installations that require both media and device control. Status LEDs allow quick on-site diagnostics without additional tools.
The EXT3-U-R is housed in a compact PicoTOOLS aluminum enclosure with convection ventilation for fan-less operation and flexible mounting options. Installation requires a single twisted-pair cable for both signal and optional power and the unit supports side-by-side mounting of four receivers in 1U rack space with the recommended adapter. The design focuses on straightforward integration, dependable signal transport and simple local maintenance.
