KVM extender Transmitter & receiver Icron 00-00457 Wired USB Type-C 10m

The Icron 00-00457 (Starling 3251C-10-PL) is a short-distance wired USB Type-C KVM extension solution that extends USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) device connectivity point-to-point up to 10 meters. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 and includes a 10 m plenum-rated cable for routing through plenum spaces. The solution is bus-powered by default but supports optional DC power when connected to legacy USB ports, and it is compatible with major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Advantages

The extender provides transparent USB extension with true plug-and-play functionality using Icron’s ExtremeUSB-C technology. It delivers full USB 3.2 Gen 1 bandwidth for peripherals and is backward compatible with older USB standards. The unit is easy to install with bus power as standard and includes a plenum-rated 10 m cable for compliant in-building routing. Compact transmitter dimensions and included LAN (RJ-45) and USB Type-C cables simplify deployment, and the product meets CE, FCC and RoHS regulatory standards.

How to use

Connect the transmitter to the host computer using the supplied USB Type-C cable and connect the receiver to the USB device at the remote end. Use the included LAN (RJ-45) cable for the point-to-point link if required by the installation. If the host port cannot supply sufficient power, connect an optional DC power source to the transmitter. After physical connections are made, the extender operates as a transparent USB link; no additional drivers are typically required on Windows, macOS, or Linux systems.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the plenum-rated cable through approved plenum spaces only and avoid running the cable near large sources of electromagnetic interference. Verify host USB port power capability for high-current peripherals and use the optional DC power input if necessary.
