Kramer KDS-USB2-EN USB 2.0 High-Speed Extension Encoder

Kramer KDS-USB2-EN USB 2.0 High-Speed Extension Encoder

KDS-USB2-EN is a USB 2.0 high-speed encoder 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. KDS-USB2-EN connects to a host computer enabling communication with the USB devices that are connected to a KDS-USB2-DEC decoder (sold separately).

KDS-USB2-EN can be paired with one KDS-USB2-DEC 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.
