Product Description
The Kramer KDS-USB2-DEC is a high-performance USB 2.0 high-speed decoder. 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. You can connect up to 4 USB devices to it, enabling communication with the host computer connected to a KDS-USB2-EN encoder (sold separately). For basic one-to-one USB extension, pair it with one KDS-USB2-EN encoder. With additional units, you can expand your USB extension system. For example, connect USB cameras from multiple locations to one computer or let users in different places collaborate in real-time using the same host computer over a LAN with their own input devices. Use Kramer's cloud-based control platform to map and control multi-unit setups. Key features include high-speed extension up to 100 m with CAT 5e/6/7 cables or 10km with fiber optics, achieving up to 480 Mbps USB 2.0 throughput. It allows you to connect multiple devices simultaneously, supports collaboration with multiple decoders, and has switchable USB setups. It's reliable, certified, plug-and-play, and compatible with major operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Using the Kramer KDS-USB2-DEC is easy. First, connect the KDS-USB2-DEC to a KDS-USB2-EN encoder using a CAT 5/6 cable. Then, plug your USB devices like a mouse, keyboard, or camera into the 4 USB ports on the decoder. The host computer should be connected to the encoder. For best performance, use the recommended Kramer cables. When setting up multi - unit systems, follow the instructions on Kramer's cloud - based control platform to map and manage the connections. Remember, this device is certified and doesn't require any software drivers, so it's truly plug - and - play. As for maintenance, keep the device in a well - ventilated area as it uses convection ventilation for cooling. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you have any issues, check the power, link, host, and activity LEDs on the front panel to diagnose problems.
