4-Port USB 3 (5Gbps), 10GbE LAN or CAT 6a/7 USB-C Extender System
The Icron Raven™ 3204C Pro is the world’s first USB 3-2-1 extender over Local Area Network. Optimized for camera and video capture devices with Isochronous (ISO) support, it extends USB 3 (5Gbps), 2.0 and 1.1 devices simultaneously up to 200 meters from a host computer across a 10GbE LAN or 100m across a point-to-point CAT 6a/7 connection. The Raven 3204C Pro delivers the same exceptional performance as the Raven 3104 Pro, in a smaller, lighter design.
Now featuring USB-C ports for the host and extended devices, it can accommodate a wide range of applications. These include extending cameras, sound bars, DACs, hubs, touchscreens and other USB-C or USB-A devices (supporting up to 30 downstream USB peripherals) beyond the maximum length of a standard USB 3 cable (1.8m/6ft) to a PC or BYOD laptop across board rooms, lecture halls or to an IT closet for use with all major UC conferencing applications.
The Raven 3204C Pro supports the new Firmware Upgrade over Network feature, allowing all extender endpoints to be conveniently updated from a single connection to save time and make maintenance and system upgrades a breeze. An additional 1Gb Ethernet pass-through enhances configurability and eliminates the need for extra cable runs, saving money and simplifying installations. To extend USB 3 devices over fiber optic cabling, refer to the Icron USB 3-2-1 Raven 3124 extender.
