Conventional USB cables typically confine users to one or two meters of connectivity. Newnex, one of the leaders in USB extension solutions, has revolutionized this limitation with the FireNEX™ series of USB extenders, leveraging advanced repeater technology to extend USB signals over CAT or fiber optic cables up to 700 meters. Supporting USB 3.2, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 standards, these USB 3.0 extenders provide seamless integration across devices and industries, including professional AV, machine vision, and 3D imaging.
What is a USB Extender?
A USB extender (repeater) is a device that enables USB signals to travel far beyond the typical length constraints of standard USB cables. For example, a passive USB 3.0 cable often reaches a maximum length of 2 meters, while Newnex’s extenders can extend USB cables over CAT6 or fiber optic cables for hundreds of meters. They provide reliable connectivity for devices like cameras, sensors, and peripherals, ensuring seamless performance over extended distances.
