Four-Port USB 2.0 Fibre Extender

This extender pair carries four USB 2.0 or 1.1 connections up to 500 metres over multimode fibre. It suits IT teams, industrial operators or AV installers who must place peripherals far from the host computer. No driver installation is required on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Plug-and-Play Remote Modules

The local and remote units each measure 1 inch high, 3.9 inches wide and 3 inches deep. A 2-metre USB cable and a power adapter are included so the link is operational straight from the package. RoHS and WEEE compliance confirms the build meets current environmental standards.

Replaces Short Copper Cables

Standard USB cables top out at roughly 5 metres; this kit pushes the same signals 1600 feet without repeaters. The jump is worth it when keyboards, cameras, scanners or other USB gear must sit in another room, on a factory floor or across a campus. Buyers who need singlemode reach beyond 500 metres or more than four ports will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the IC404A-R2 support and what is the practical range limit over multimode fibre?

The extender handles USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 signals up to 500 m over multimode fibre.

What are the physical dimensions of the extender modules and how many USB ports does the remote unit provide?

Each module measures 1 in high, 3.9 in wide and 3 in deep; the remote unit offers four USB ports.

How is the extender set up and which step is most often missed?

Connect the local module to the host with the supplied 2 m USB cable, link both modules with multimode fibre, attach the power adapter, then plug devices into the remote module — the separate power adapter is the step most often forgotten.
