KVM extender Vivolink VLUSBCEXT2X2 USB 2.0 1920x1200 150m

The VLUSBCEXT2X2 USB Extender extends USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) signals up to 100 m over a single CAT6a cable. The transmitter provides two selectable USB-C host ports, one USB-C and two USB-A device ports. The receiver offers two HDMI outputs using DisplayLink, plus one USB-C and two USB-A device ports. The unit supports auto and manual switching between the two USB-C host ports, and bi-directional 24V Power over Cable (PoC) so power can be supplied to either the transmitter or the receiver. Typical installation scenarios include meeting rooms and other setups requiring long-distance USB and video signal transmission between USB hosts and devices such as webcams, PTZ cameras, keyboards, mice, USB microphones, flash drives, printers, scanners and touch displays.

Advantages

The extender combines high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 data transfer with DisplayLink video over dual HDMI outputs, enabling video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz. It provides flexible host connectivity with two USB-C selectable host ports and supports both automatic and RS232/manual switching. With bi-directional 24V PoC, only one power source is needed at either end. Both local (transmitter) and remote (receiver) units include a mix of USB-A and USB-C device ports for peripherals, plus balanced analogue audio output for integrated audio routing.

Suitable for

• Meeting rooms and conference systems
• Remote workstations and KVM setups
• Lecture halls and training rooms with centralized sources
• Video conferencing with webcams and PTZ cameras
• Environments requiring long-distance USB device connection (keyboards, mice, microphones, scanners)

How to use

Connect the transmitter to the USB-C host(s) and attach a single CAT6a cable between the transmitter and receiver. Connect display(s) to the receiver's HDMI outputs and plug USB peripherals into the USB-A or USB-C device ports on either unit as required. Provide power to either the transmitter or the receiver using the supported 24V PoC configuration; the other end will receive power over the cable. Use the auto-switching function for automatic host selection or configure manual switching via RS232 commands if needed.

Recommendations

For best performance, use a high-quality CAT6a cable and ensure connected hosts support DisplayLink drivers where required. When deploying in meeting rooms or conference environments, test RS232 switching behavior and confirm power placement (transmitter or receiver) before final installation.
