Alfatron Electronics Announces the ALF USB3 EXT USB 3.0 Extender

Alfatron's ALF-USB3-EXT

Alfatron Electronics introduces the ALF-USB3-EXT USB 3.0 over CAT extender. With the ability to transmit over CAT6/6A/7 cabling systems to a distance of 80m (295'), the ALF-USB3-EXT is billed as the ideal solution for extending the reach of USB peripheral devices such as cameras, microphones, digital signal processors (DSP'S), video bars, and other USB devices -- enabling presenters and others to have their equipment placed where they need it as opposed to being restricted by limited cable reach. This makes the ALF USB3 EXT USB 3.0 extender an ideal solution in the areas of security monitoring, gaming, industrial control, professional audio-visual, smart medical, and other fields, the company says.

The ALF-USB3-EXT consists of two modules: a receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX). With four-ports for USB 3.0 device connections, the ALF-USB3-EXT is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB1.1, resulting in the ability to connect a wide range of equipment. It also functions as a USB hub. The transmitter supports USB 3.0 Super-Speed and is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1x1, and USB 3.1 Gen1. Together, they form a system that extends the reach of many different types of devices -- free from any delays that may be encountered with other types of extender products.

The Alfatron ALF-USB3-EXT also supports hot plugging of USB devices. These features make the ALF USB3 EXT USB 3.0 extender ideal for those environments where different types of equipment are routinely being connected and disconnected. Equally important, the ALF-USB3-EXT supports PoC (Power over Cable). Only the receiver is required to be connected to an electrical outlet.

Spencer Thomas, technical director for Alfatron Electronics, comments on the company's new ALF-USB3-EXT USB3.0 over CAT extender: "The ALF-USB3-EXT is the ideal solution for any environment where users require convenient access to a variety of USB devices that otherwise might not have the necessary cable length. If, for example, a person needs their keyboard and mouse on-stage for a presentation, the ALF-USB3-EXT can then easily reach the computer elsewhere in the room or be connected to our UC1 wireless conferencing system. Bottom line...the ALF-USB3-EXT makes it easy to have the tools one needs, where they need them."
