Overview

The USB 2.0 RG2300 Core continues the tradition of being the most robust and reliable embedded USB 2.0 extender module on the market. Available in an easy-to-integrate pluggable SO-DIMM form factor, the RG2300 Core supports direct USB 2.0 extension connectivity of up to 100m over Cat 5e (or better) and 10km over fiber.  It is optimized for mass storage throughput speeds and boasts market leading USB device and host compatibility.

To assist developers with their OEM projects, the USB 2.0 RG2300 Core Series Developer Kits provides a rapid means to evaluate the RG2300 Core Series of products in your application and to prototype custom solutions. For more advanced capabilities, consider the RG2310 Core for remote pairing control via the SwitchableUSB™ protocol, full USB performance over a Local Area Network (LAN) and support for extension in environments with variable latency.
