Icron USB Extension Technology | Benefits

  Icron, the leader in USB Extension Technology.

  • All Icron products include their ExtremeUSB suite of features: Transparent USB extension, True plug and play (no software drivers required) and Works with all major operating systems such as Windows, macOS and Linux and Chrome OS.
     
  • ExtremeUSB is the most robust and reliable USB extension technology available today and is backed by 20 years of development.
     
  • A USB extender system typically consists of a local extender unit (LEX) connected to a host such as a computer, and a remote extender unit (REX) that connects to a USB peripheral such as a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or camera.
     
  • These two extender points are joined by transmission link cable such as CAT 5e/6/7 or fibre, to provide a Point-to-Point Connection.
     
  • Backed by Scene Double, who have been at the forefront of the professional USB and KVM extension market for over 25 years.
