The EX-100-USB3 is an HDBaseT USB 3.2 Gen 1 extender designed to carry high-speed USB signals up to 100 meters over a single CATx link. It extends USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity while preserving up to 5Gbps transfer rates, enabling remote placement of USB peripherals. The unit supports a four-port downstream receiver arrangement to connect multiple USB devices simultaneously.
Key features include support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 transport at 5Gbps, HDBaseT-based transmission to 100m, and PoH+ power delivery up to 25.5W. The extender provides a high-current USB output option targeted for power-hungry devices such as USB 3.0 cameras. The design includes a single TX host port and a multi-port RX to accommodate common AV and broadcast peripherals.
Performance specifications ensure reliable long-distance operation - USB 3.2 Gen 1 at up to 5Gbps and HDBaseT transmission to 100m. PoH+ supplies up to 25.5W to remote devices while the transmitter accepts a DC 20V 3A locking power supply. Measured power consumption is 39.79W when USB ports are fully loaded and 6.94W with no USB load.
Connectivity options include one TX USB Host port, one TX RJ45 output, and an RX assembly providing four USB 3.2 Type-A ports. The system uses a standard RJ45 CATx link for the HDBaseT connection and ships with a 1.8m USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cable. The included power supply supports US/EU/UK/AU mains configurations and the hardware includes mounting brackets for fixed installations.
Typical applications include remote camera connections for broadcast and streaming, remote workstations and kiosks requiring USB peripherals, and centralized AV closets distributing USB devices to local endpoints. The product is suited to installations that require both data throughput and sufficient remote power for peripherals. It is applicable in live production, conference rooms, and specialized imaging environments.
Installation is straightforward - connect the host to the TX USB port, run a CATx cable to the RX RJ45, attach USB devices to the RX Type-A ports, and apply the supplied DC 20V 3A power. The chassis and mounting hardware support rack or surface mounting and the device is designed for plug-and-play operation with minimal configuration. Firmware updates and LED status indicators simplify maintenance and diagnostics on site.
