Product Description
The Kramer KDS-USB2-EN is a top - notch USB 2.0 high - speed encoder. It's designed to extend USB signals between a host computer and various USB peripheral devices like mice, keyboards, displays, cameras, mobile devices, media players, or hard drives. Simply connect it to a host computer, and it enables communication with USB devices connected to a KDS - USB2 - DEC decoder (sold separately). You can pair it with one decoder for basic one - to - one USB extension. Buying additional units allows you to expand your USB extension system. For instance, connect USB cameras from multiple locations to one computer or let multiple users collaborate on the same host computer over a LAN in real - time using their own input devices. With Kramer’s cloud - based control platform, you can manage these multi - unit setups. Key features include high - speed extension up to 100 m with CAT 5e/6/7 cables and up to 10km with fiber optics, achieving USB 2.0 throughput up to 480 Mbps. It can connect to all 4 decoder ports simultaneously, support multi - location collaboration with up to seven decoders, and construct various unit setups. It's reliable, certified, plug - and - play, and compatible with major operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Using the Kramer KDS - USB2 - EN is easy. First, connect the encoder to your host computer using the included USB2 type A male to type B male cable. Then, connect the decoder (sold separately) to the USB peripheral devices you want to use. Use the appropriate CAT 5e/6/7 or fiber optics cable to connect the encoder and decoder. For best performance, always use the recommended Kramer cables. When setting up multi - unit systems, you can use Kramer’s cloud - based control platform to map and manage the connections. As for maintenance, keep the device in a clean and well - ventilated area. Since it uses convection ventilation, make sure there are no obstructions around the enclosure.
