KVM extender Icron Ranger 2301 Transmitter & receiver

The Icron Ranger 2301 Transmitter & Receiver is a wired KVM extender designed to extend keyboard and mouse control and USB connectivity up to 100 meters over a copper link. This unit provides reliable remote access to a host computer while maintaining responsive input and supporting high-speed USB data transfer. Its compact grey enclosures and AC input range of 100–240 V make it suitable for integration into mixed-voltage environments and professional installations where distance separation between operator and system is required.

Advantages

The Ranger 2301 offers low-latency USB extension for human interface devices, preserving the responsiveness of keyboards and mice over long distances. It supports USB Type-A local ports for easy connection of peripherals and delivers a sustained maximum data transfer capability of 12,480 Mbit/s to accommodate standard USB devices. The wide AC input voltage range increases deployment flexibility in different countries and power conditions, while the wired copper connection removes the need for network configuration or wireless pairing.

Suitable for

• Remote access to desktop computers in control rooms and industrial workstations
• Secure offices where computers must be located away from users
• Point-of-sale or kiosk systems requiring keyboard and mouse extension
• Testing and development benches that need USB device extension

How to use

Connect the Transmitter unit to the host computer using the supplied USB interface, and attach local USB peripherals to the Transmitter's Type-A ports if required. Run the appropriate copper cable between the Transmitter and Receiver up to the supported 100 m distance, then connect the Receiver to the remote console’s USB devices and to local power using the AC input. Ensure both units are powered and the host recognizes attached keyboards, mice or other USB devices. No additional drivers are typically required for standard human interface devices; verify device compatibility for specialized USB hardware.

Recommendations

For best performance, use high-quality copper cabling rated for long-distance data transmission and ensure secure power sources within the specified AC input range. Place the units in ventilated locations and avoid running the extension cable alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference. Test connected peripherals after installation to confirm full functionality of input devices and data throughput.
