Can a USB extender be used with a Nureva audio system?

Yes, a USB extender can be used with Nureva^® audio systems. Nureva recommends using the USB extenders listed below. These extenders meet our standards for audio quality and reliability. Using USB extenders — whether active or passive — that have not been validated with Nureva devices may result in reduced audio conference quality due to increased latency and dropped data packets.

Suggested USB extenders

The Icron Ranger^® 2312 is dual-port and allows the connection of a third-party camera and other third-party USB devices to the in-room computer when needed.

Alternative to USB extenders

The HDL300, Dual HDL300, HDL310 and HDL410 systems include Ethernet cables used for Power over Ethernet (PoE). USB extenders can be avoided by using a long PoE cable between the connect module and the speaker bar. This will allow the connect module to be placed closer to the host device.

Supplied Ethernet cable specifications

• CAT6

• SSTP (screened-shielded twisted pair)

• 26 AWG cable

Replacement Ethernet cable specifications

If a longer or replacement cable is needed, an Ethernet cable with the following specifications can be used:

• CAT5e minimum

• SSTP (screened-shielded twisted pair)

• Minimum 26 AWG cable for cable runs up to 164' (50 m)

• Minimum 24 AWG cable for cable runs up to 246' (75 m)

• Minimum 23 AWG cable for cable runs up to 328' (100 m)

Note: When using third-party cables, ensure the cable meets the applicable country, regional and local electrical codes or ordinances relating to that type of cable and related accessories.
