KDS-USB2
USB 2.0 High−Speed Extension
Encoder/Decoder Kit
|CAT
KDS−USB2 is a USB 2.0 high−speed extension kit for
extending USB signals between a host computer and
any USB peripheral device such as a mouse,
keyboard, display, camera, mobile device, media
player, or hard drive. The KDS−USB2 encoder
connects to a host computer enabling communication
with the USB devices that are connected to the
KDS−USB2 decoder.
KDS−USB2 includes one encoder and one decoder for
basic one−to−one USB extension, but with the
purchase of additional units, you can diversify your
USB extension system. For example, connect USB
cameras in multiple locations to one computer or
enable users in multiple locations to collaborate using
the same host computer over a Local Area Network
(LAN), in real time, using their own keyboards, mice
and touch screens. Using Kramer’s cloud−based
control platform, you can map and/or control these
multi−unit setups
