Stan,
Icron says the USB Rangers will go 100M.
If you're looking for a more versatile solution, take a look at a good KVM
extender. I've had good luck with Rose Electronics www.rose.com -- I've been
meaning to trial one of their KVM+serial, either fibre or cat5 for use with the
annunciator keyboards, but haven't got to it yet.
