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

Extend USB peripherals across facilities with confidence using the Kramer KDS-USB2-EN USB 2.0 High-Speed Extension Encoder. Built for security, surveillance and professional AV environments, this encoder lets a host computer communicate with remote USB devices — cameras, keyboards, touchscreens, media players and external drives — with low latency and rock-solid reliability. The encoder supports USB 2.0 high-speed extension up to 100 m over CAT5e/6/7 cable or up to 10 km over fiber, and provides simultaneous power to four decoder ports (5 V, 500 mA each) for connected devices. For multi-site monitoring and collaboration, pair one encoder with up to seven decoders and manage mappings via Kramer’s cloud-based SwitchableUSB platform for seamless many-to-many switching. True plug-and-play operation requires no drivers and works across Windows, macOS and Linux, simplifying integration into existing networking and pro HDMI extenders deployments. Ideal for security control rooms, surveillance monitoring, telepresence and collaborative workspaces — contact our sales team to design your deployment or add the KDS-USB2-EN to your system.
