We recently added a new product line, the USB Extension Core 2200 Modules, for our customers who need to add USB extension to a larger more complex system.   USB extension solutions are ideal for a number of applications including industrial automation/control, KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extension for remote desktops, security, digital signage, home network integration, accessing remote medical devices, and extending interactive white boards.

There are four Core 2200 Modules: Core 2210, 2220, 2230, and 2240.  Each module offers a unique transmission interface supporting different types of USB devices.  Depending on the target market and use case a specific Core Module can be used.  For example, in industrial automation/control applications where a keyboard and mouse needs to be extended up to 300 meters away from the computer, the Core 2210 would be integrated into the design.

One of the exciting features of the Core 2200 Modules is that there are multiple products available depending on what use cases need to be supported.  The modules come in a 200 pin SO-DIMM form factor along with full reference designs for integration.   This allows many applications that require USB extension an easy to source connector and flexible integration in the design.

Form Factor of Core 2200 Modules
