Introducing the USB-C 3.2 Gen1 Extender by Japan Material
Japan Material Co., Ltd., led by President Hisao Tanaka, has exciting news for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike. On December 12, 2023, the company will roll out the new
USB-C 3.2 Gen1 Extender (Model Number: MUX-EU500534), developed by the renowned Canadian company MuxLab. This innovative product enables the extension of USB signals over a single LAN cable (CAT6A) for distances of up to 100 meters, catering to a range of applications including PoC devices, industrial machinery, and digital signage.
Seamless USB Signal Extension
The MuxLab extender is a set comprising both a transmitter and a receiver. Users can benefit from high-speed USB 3.2 data transfer at a rate of up to
5Gbps, ensuring smooth operation for demanding applications. The receiver features two ports for USB Type-C and Type-A connections, which also maintain backward compatibility with older USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Additionally, the extender supports passthrough for RS-232C and camera synchronization signals (FSYNC GPIO), making it highly versatile.
Easy Installation and Compatibility
One of the standout features of this extender is its straightforward power supply setup. By connecting the included AC adapter to either the transmitter or the receiver, users can power the other unit via the LAN cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources in tight spaces.
Moreover, no extra software or drivers are required, as the product is designed to be compatible with major operating systems out of the box. This plug-and-play functionality is ideal for users seeking convenience and efficiency in their connectivity solutions.
