Why Use Icron

Interactive whiteboards typically only require USB 1.1 connections and there are many different USB 1.1 extenders available on the market to choose from. However Icron’s USB 1.1 Rover^® extenders were designed with the classroom environment in mind, featuring superior ESD/EFT protection (think of all that foot traffic on the carpet), ability to handle in-rush current at start-up, and CPSIA safety inspection. Moreover, the Rover series has been proven to work with all models from the world’s two leading interactive whiteboard manufacturers, SMART and Promethean, and includes the ExtremeUSB suite of features:

• Transparent USB extension
• True plug and play; no software drivers required
• Works with all major operating systems: Windows^®, macOS™, Linux^®, and Chrome OS™

Peace of Mind

Icron’s USB extenders are the world’s most reliable. Simply install and never have to worry about product failure. Teachers demand 100% up-time and installers do not want to revisit the site for USB extender replacement. It just has to work, and Icron delivers!

Why Use Icron

Machine Vision cameras are used right at the point of action such as on the assembly line of an automobile plant. However, it is not always feasible to have the computer host right in the same location. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 20% of USB3 Vision camera applications using USB3 Vision Machine Vision cameras require host extension beyond USB 3.0’s three meter distance specification. Icron’s USB 3.0 Spectra™ 3022 extender incorporating the ExtremeUSB^® suite of features, allows for two USB3 Vision cameras to be extended up to 100 meters over multimode fiber without losing any performance while withstanding the demands of a commercial environment by featuring metal housing, Class B certification, and locking connectors. If additional cameras are required, a USB 3.0 hub can be used.

Includes the ExtremeUSB^® suite of features:

• Transparent USB extension
• True plug and play; no software drivers required
• Works with all major operating systems: Windows®, macOS™, Linux®, and Chrome OS™

Increase Efficiencies

USB3 Vision camera solutions outperform GigE and FireWire cameras in throughput transmission while costing less than Camera Link cameras. Adding Icron’s USB 3.0 Spectra extenders for when a three meter distance is not enough, increases the opportunity to take advantage of USB3 Vision solution efficiencies.

Why Use Icron

Upgrading security measures can require large amounts of data flow, thus the need for increased bandwidth provided by USB 2.0 and 3.0 equipment. One such application is facial recognition for airport security surveillance and casino entry scanning. To bridge the distance gap between the security cameras and the computer room, Icron’s USB extender solutions permit distances of up to 100 meters over Cat 5e and 40Km over singlemode fiber optics. Set-up time is reduced with ExtremeUSB^®’s plug and play installation benefit, compatibility with any computer operating system, and optional mounting brackets. The USB 3.0 Spectra™ 3022 extender features USB 3.0 for extremely high bandwidth applications while the USB 2.0 Ranger^® 2211 extender offers “flexible power” so that connection to a power outlet can be either at the local or remote end as well as having integrated mounting slots.

Includes the ExtremeUSB suite of features:

• Transparent USB extension
• True plug and play; no software drivers required
• Works with all major operating systems: Windows^®, Mac OS X^®, and Linux^®

Improve Security

ExtremeUSB 3.0 and 2.0 extender solutions from Icron Technologies increase the usability of USB security cameras by removing the distance challenge, and thus facilitate greater security measures to be adopted in public and private settings.
