KVM Extender Icron Spectra 3022 Transmitter & Receiver

The Icron Spectra 3022 Transmitter & Receiver is a wired KVM extender designed to transmit keyboard, video and mouse signals over a single CATx cable up to 100 meters. The system provides USB Type-A ports for local keyboard and mouse connections and supports high-speed USB data transfer up to 5000 Mbit/s. With a wide AC input voltage range, the Spectra 3022 adapts to different power environments and is suitable for professional AV, control room and industrial installations that require reliable remote access to a host computer.

Advantages

This KVM extender preserves full USB functionality for connected peripherals while maintaining video quality across the extended distance. The integrated USB Type-A ports allow immediate connection of standard keyboards and mice at the local unit, and the device’s support for a broad AC voltage range ensures compatibility with global power standards. The wired CATx connection reduces latency and interference compared with wireless alternatives, delivering stable performance for extended desktop control.

Suitable for

• Remote desktop and workstation extension in offices and control rooms
• AV installations where video and USB peripherals must be located separately from the host PC
• Industrial environments requiring reliable wired KVM solutions
• Testing labs and classrooms where multiple users access a central computer from a distance

How to use

Install the transmitter near the host computer and connect the host’s USB and video outputs to the transmitter’s appropriate ports. Place the receiver at the remote workstation and connect the remote display and USB peripherals to the receiver’s outputs. Use a quality CATx cable to connect transmitter and receiver; ensure cable runs do not exceed 100 meters. Power both units using compatible AC supplies within the 100–240 V range. After connections and power-up, verify that the keyboard, mouse and display are recognized by the host system and functioning across the extended link.

Recommendations

Use shielded CATx cabling for best signal integrity and route cables away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For video-critical applications, verify cable quality and connectors to maintain image clarity over the maximum distance. Ensure power supplies meet the specified AC input range and consider surge protection in environments prone to electrical disturbances.
