KVM-extender Vivolink VLUSB3EXT100H USB 3.0 100m

The Vivolink VLUSB3EXT100H Host extends USB 3.0 connections up to 100 meters over Cat5e/6/7 cable using HDBaseT 3.0 technology. The device supports connection of up to four USB peripherals — such as cameras, speakers, touch screens or other USB 3.0 devices — and transfers signals over the network cable to a remote receiver connected to the computer. The transmitter is bus-powered from the computer while the remote receiver provides external power to ensure stable operation of connected USB devices. The extender is housed in a durable metal enclosure and its compact size enables space-saving installation.

Advantages

The VLUSB3EXT100H supports USB 3.0 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s and enables reliable extension of multiple USB devices up to 100 m. Bus-power at the host combined with a powered receiver supplies sufficient power for a wide range of peripherals. The use of HDBaseT 3.0 and standard Cat5e/6/7 cabling facilitates easy integration into existing infrastructure. The metal housing provides mechanical durability and the compact form factor simplifies installation in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Meeting rooms and conference setups
• Remote camera and audio device connections

How to use

Connect up to four USB devices to the VLUSB3EXT100H host/transmitter. Use a single Cat5e/6/7 cable to link the transmitter to the remote receiver located near the computer. Plug the receiver into the computer and connect the receiver’s power supply to provide external power for attached USB peripherals. Ensure both ends are connected securely and that cable distance does not exceed 100 meters for proper operation.

Recommendations

For best performance use high-quality Cat6 or Cat6a cable and keep the cable run under 100 meters. If devices draw significant current (for example external hard drives or some cameras), confirm the receiver’s power supply wattage is adequate. Place the metal-housed transmitter in a ventilated location to avoid heat buildup.
