Features in Depth
The BG-USX-B100BC extends USB 3.2 Gen 1 signals up to 100m (328ft) using a single CAT6a (F/FTP) cable while maintaining transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. The transmitter features selectable USB-C and USB-B host inputs, allowing easy integration with modern laptops, desktop computers, media servers, and industrial control systems. The receiver provides one USB-C and three USB-A device ports, enabling simultaneous connection of multiple USB peripherals without sacrificing bandwidth or reliability. Full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices ensures seamless operation with legacy equipment.
Built for professional and industrial environments, the BG-USX-B100BC incorporates hardware acceleration to optimize both isochronous and bulk USB transfers, making it particularly effective for latency-sensitive peripherals such as PTZ cameras, webcams, touchscreens, industrial cameras, machine vision systems, storage devices, and other high-bandwidth USB equipment. Automatic host switching via USB 5V detection allows seamless transitions between connected host devices, while manual switching offers greater control for integrated workflows.
To simplify deployment, the system features bi-directional 24V Power over Cable (PoC), allowing either the transmitter or receiver to power both units through the CAT6a connection, reducing cabling and power supply requirements. Additional integration features include RS-232 pass-through, FSYNC GPIO synchronization, API command support, and firmware upgrades through a dedicated USB-C service port. Housed in durable metal enclosures and requiring no driver installation, the BG-USX-B100BC provides a dependable long-distance USB extension solution for conference rooms, broadcast facilities, industrial automation, medical imaging, education, and enterprise AV systems.
