Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer

The Gefen USB 2.0 LR Extender
Gefen’s USB 2.0 LR extends high-speed USB devices simply and reliably.
The compact USB 2.0 LR Sender/Receiver units install in minutes and fully
support all USB versions (V1.1 and V2.0), at speeds of up to 480 mbps
-- essential for high-performance applications such as digital imaging and
interactive gaming.
The two-port USB 2.0 LR hub is ideal for remotely accessing laser printers,
scanners, web cameras, external hard drives, CD/DVD burners, and flash
drives. Additional applications include security, industrial control, digital signage,
scientific data acquisition and much more due to the universal implementation of
USB standards.
How It Works
Gefen’s USB 2.0 LR supports all major operating systems -- Windows, MacOS
and Linux. No software drivers are required.
When using in-wall building wiring, stranded patch cables may be used to
connect the Sender and Receiver to CAT5 wall plates. The combined length of all
patch cables must not exceed 33 feet (10m) and must be included as part of the
total extension.
A powered USB hub may be connected to the USB 2.0 Extender LR Receiver
to allow more USB devices to be extended. A maximum of 14 USB devices
(including hubs) may be connected to the USB 2.0 LR Receiver.
