Icron Four-Port USB 3-2-1 Raven 3104 Point-to-Point Extender System (328')

Product Overview

The Icron Four-Port USB 3-2-1 Raven 3104 is a USB 3-2-1 extender for commercial AV installations that need USB devices placed far from the host. It connects USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) devices across a point-to-point link up to 100 m (328 ft) over Cat 6a or Cat 7, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 peripherals. A built-in Gigabit Ethernet pass-through makes it well suited to USB camera extension and networked endpoints in conference rooms and boardrooms on a single cable run.

Product Description

The Raven 3104 is a two-piece system: a Local Extender (LEX) connects to the host, and a Remote Extender (REX) provides four USB Type-A ports plus a Gigabit Ethernet jack at the device end. Linked by a single Cat 6a or Cat 7 cable, it delivers full 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 bandwidth for USB extension over Cat6a up to 100 m, supporting as many as 30 USB devices through the extended connection. The integrated Ethernet side-channel carries a LAN connection over the same cable, so integrators can serve a network-enabled endpoint, remote storage, or a monitoring device without running a separate data drop. This makes the Raven 3104 a practical 100m USB extender for boardrooms, training rooms, and broadcast environments where a camera, touch panel, or capture device sits far from the rack. Because it uses Icron's ExtremeUSB extension, the system is plug-and-play and compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS with no drivers required. For USB 3 isochronous camera support, step up to the Raven 3104 Pro; for a model without Ethernet pass-through, see the Raven 3204C, or browse the full Icron USB extender collection. An optional Raven mounting kit is available for rack or surface mounting. This product is also known as part number 00-00421.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What cabling does the Raven 3104 require?
A single Cat 6a or Cat 7 cable between the LEX and REX, up to 100 m (328 ft) at 5 Gbps.

Can it carry a network connection as well as USB?
Yes. Each unit has Gigabit Ethernet jacks, so a LAN connection passes over the same cable for network-enabled endpoints without a separate data drop.

How many USB devices can it support?
Up to 30 USB devices across the four Type-A ports at the remote extender.

Does it require driver software to install?
No. ExtremeUSB extension is transparent to the host, so the system is plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS.

How is it powered and mounted?
Both the LEX and REX use 24 V DC power adapters and provide 1.2 A per USB port. An optional Raven mounting kit secures the units near a rack or under furniture.

How does it compare to the Raven 3104 Pro?
The Raven 3104 Pro adds enhanced USB 3 isochronous transaction support for conference cameras; the standard 3104 is ideal where that is not required.
