About the Crestron USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G

A USB Type B port on the plate connects to the host, such as a computer, media server, game console, annotator or codec, and the Link connection runs to the Remote plate, where two USB Type A ports take keyboards, mice and other devices. The extension is plug-and-play, with no configuration, programming or drivers needed on Windows, macOS or Linux.

The link uses solid-core CAT5e or better shielded twisted pair (STP) and carries USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 at up to 12 Mbps. Mass storage and isochronous devices are supported, with Mass Storage Acceleration for USB 2.0 bulk transfers. A chain can include up to four USB hubs, for 30 devices, or 26 devices with four hubs.

The Local plate is USB powered via the host interface and has a 24 VDC input on a 2-pin terminal block. The PW-2407WUL power supply for the pair comes with the Remote plate, and an optional ferrite bead is provided to reduce interference. The plate measures 105 mm high, 44 mm wide and 50 mm deep, and this page covers the black and white versions.

Questions about the Crestron USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G

What is the USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G?

It is the Local, or host, end of Crestron's USB over Category Cable Extender in a wall plate format. It mounts in a 1-gang electrical box, connects to a computer, media server, game console, annotator or codec by USB Type B, and extends USB 1.1 and 2.0 up to 100 m (330 ft) over CAT5e.

Which unit does the USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G pair with?

It pairs point to point with the USB-EXT-2-REMOTE-1G wall plate, which has two USB Type A ports for devices. Crestron also lists the wall plates as compatible with the USB-EXT-2 USB over Twisted Pair Extender. When replacing one plate, check the part number of the unit at the other end.

What cable does the wall plate need?

The link needs one run of solid-core CAT5e or better shielded twisted pair (STP) cable, up to 100 m (330 ft) long. It carries USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps and USB 1.1 at up to 12 Mbps, including mass storage and isochronous devices.

How is the wall plate powered?

The Local plate is USB powered via the USB host interface and also has a 24 VDC input on a 2-pin 3.5 mm terminal block. The PW-2407WUL power supply is included with the Remote plate, and one supply powers both ends. An optional ferrite bead is provided to reduce or prevent electromagnetic interference.

What colours are available?

This page covers two finishes: black (USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G-B) and white (USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G-W). Both are the same Local wall plate, measuring 105 mm high, 44 mm wide and 50 mm deep, for an unobstructed 1-gang electrical box, which is not included.

How much is the Crestron USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Is the USB-EXT-2-LOCAL-1G in stock?
