Ideal for commercial, industrial, and professional environments, the Ranger 2311 delivers a seamless, high-performance connection that feels as if your device is plugged directly into the source.

Key Benefits

Experience unparalleled flexibility and reliability in your setup. The Ranger 2311 empowers you to deploy USB devices like keyboards, mice, interactive whiteboards, webcams, hard drives, and printers in remote locations with zero signal degradation or latency. This is made possible by Icron´s patented ExtremeUSB® technology, which ensures a transparent and stable USB connection across the entire 100-meter distance. Its true plug-and-play functionality means there are no complex software drivers to install, providing instant compatibility with all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This simplifies installation and reduces setup time, allowing you to focus on your workflow, not on connectivity issues. The system´s ability to operate over existing or new CATx infrastructure makes it a cost-effective and versatile solution for any project.
