USB extenders and host switchers can be used with Nureva® audio systems. Nureva recommends using the USB extenders and host switchers listed below. These devices meet our standards for audio quality and reliability. Using USB extenders or host switchers that have not been validated with Nureva systems may result in reduced audio conference quality due to increased latency and dropped data packets.
Active USB extenders
Brand | Description | Model | Product webpage |
|---|---|---|---|
Icron | USB 2.0, dual port, CAT5e/CAT6/CAT7, 100 m (330') extender | Ranger 2312 | |
Monoprice | USB-A Male to USB-A Female 2.0 Extension Cable — Active 20/28 AWG Repeater, Black 16' | 8751 |
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.

When using HDL200, HDL310 and HDL410 systems with HDBaseT extenders, setting the USB speed to Full Speed (USB 1.1) is necessary for a successful combination. HDL300 and Dual HDL300 systems can be used with HDBaseT extenders without changing the USB speed.

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.
