About the Crestron USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL

The USB Type-C host port connects to a computer, media server, game console or other USB host, and the RJ45 LINK port connects directly to the LINK port on a USB-EXT-3S-REMOTE. USB 3.2 Gen 1 runs at up to 5 Gbps, USB 2.0 and 1.1 are supported at the same time, and all transfer types, including isochronous, are handled.

The link is proprietary and point to point over CAT6a/CAT7 or better F/FTP or U/FTP cable. A bidirectional RS-232 port on a 4-pin terminal block, up to 115.2k baud, passes serial data from a control system across the link. The endpoint is plug-and-play with no additional drivers on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS hosts.

The PW-2030DU 20 VDC power pack is sold separately and connects through a locking DC connector. Total consumption across the Local and Remote is 31.28 W. The black metal housing has vented sides, can stand freely or be surface mounted with the included hardware, and measures 23 mm high, 130 mm wide and 125 mm deep. It weighs 350 g and is TAA compliant.

Questions about the Crestron USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL

What does the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL do?

It is the host end of Crestron's USB-EXT-3S USB 3.2 extender. It connects to one USB host, such as a computer, media server or game console, over USB Type-C and sends USB 3.2, 2.0 and 1.1 signals over one CAT6a or CAT7 cable to a USB-EXT-3S-REMOTE up to 100 m (330 ft) away.

Is a power supply included with the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL?

No. The PW-2030DU 20 VDC power pack is sold separately. It takes 100 to 240 VAC and delivers 3.0 A at 20 VDC through a locking DC connector. Crestron gives total consumption of 31.28 W across the Local and Remote endpoints.

Which endpoint does it connect to?

The LINK port connects directly to the LINK port on a USB-EXT-3S-REMOTE, using Crestron's proprietary point-to-point link between USB-EXT-3S endpoints. The Remote provides the USB device ports. When replacing a unit, check the part number at the other end of the existing link.

Does it support RS-232 control?

Yes. It has a bidirectional RS-232 port on a 4-pin 3.5 mm terminal block, running at up to 115.2k baud, with the fourth pin not used. Crestron includes an RS-232 pass-through port on each USB-EXT-3S endpoint to carry serial data from a control system over the LINK connection.

How big is the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL?

It measures 23 mm (0.89 in) high, 130 mm (5.12 in) wide and 125 mm (4.90 in) deep and weighs 350 g (12.32 oz). The black metal housing has vented sides and can be freestanding or surface mounted, with mounting hardware included.

How much is the Crestron USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL 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.

Does the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the USB-EXT-3S-LOCAL in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.
