About the Crestron USB-EXT-3S SYSTEM

The Local endpoint connects to the host, such as a computer, media server or game console, through a USB Type-C port. The Remote endpoint has three USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port for cameras, video capture devices, flash drives, keyboards and similar devices. USB 3.2 Gen 1 runs at up to 5 Gbps, and USB 2.0 and 1.1 signals are supported at the same time.

Every USB transfer type is supported, including the isochronous (ISO) transfers used by cameras. The link is proprietary and point to point, runs over CAT6a/CAT7 or better F/FTP or U/FTP cable and occupies a single USB tier. Each endpoint also has a bidirectional RS-232 port, up to 115.2k baud, so a control system can send serial data over the same link.

It is plug-and-play with no additional drivers on Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. Power comes from the included PW-2030DU 20 VDC power pack, and an endpoint can also be powered over the LINK connection. Total consumption is 31.28 W, with 25 W allocated to four USB devices. Each black metal endpoint measures 23 mm high, 130 mm wide and 125 mm deep.

Questions about the Crestron USB-EXT-3S SYSTEM

What is the USB-EXT-3S SYSTEM?

It is a USB 3.2 extender made up of a Local endpoint, which connects to the host by USB Type-C, and a Remote endpoint with four USB device ports. The two link point to point over one CAT6a or CAT7 cable, up to 100 m (330 ft), at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds of up to 5 Gbps.

What USB ports does the USB-EXT-3S SYSTEM provide?

Each endpoint has a bidirectional RS-232 port on a 4-pin 3.5 mm terminal block, running at up to 115.2k baud. It passes serial data from a control system over the LINK connection, so serial control can travel on the same cable as the USB signals.

How is the USB-EXT-3S SYSTEM powered?
