USB Extender Hub: Inexpensive space saving solution for USB peripheral extension
In case a 1 or more USB peripheral device(s) needs to be connected to a computer placed at a distance away from it, a USB Extender Hub can be used. These extension devices ensure a noise free work area. Comprising of two compact units, a transmitter and a receiver, with the former connected to the computer and the latter to the peripherals, this extender hub allows extension of peripherals up to 150 feet over standard Cat5/ Cat5e/Cat6 cable. The category cable which links the two units sends the USB signal between the transmitter and receiver. These extender hubs support USB devices such as USB cameras, USB printers, scanners, hard drives, mp3 players etc. They are compliant with standard USB 1.1 specification and are certified by CE, FCC and RoHS.
Creating a revolution in the field of extenders is the Wireless USB Extender. Similar to the other extenders, the wireless extender also consists of two units but uses 802.11 type connections to link them, providing instant access to data with zero wires. Using this device, data of up to 54 mbps can be transmitted without any downtime. Using Icron’s patented Extreme USB technology, this device supports both low USB 1.1 and hi-speed USB 2.0 peripherals. It supports all USB transfer types – Control, Bulk, Interrupt and Isochronous. Cross platform flexibility which is a benefit of using USB, is also available in these units. These extenders provide 64 bit WEP wireless security and are perfect in situations where the work space is limited.
The USB Extender is a plug and play solution and does not require any additional software or device drivers for operation. It is hot pluggable hence USB devices can be added or removed without powering down the system. LEDs located on the extenders provide link performance status. These devices have embedded connector integrated circuits on both sides and can be used in conjunction with USB hubs and are useful in preventing loss of signals. Supporting all major operating systems, this device works with Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, ME, XP and Mac OS X. Truly a hardware device, the integrated hub allows up to four USB peripherals to be connected. The number of devices can be increased by using additional USB hubs.
The USB Extender Hub is an ideal solution for long distance extension between a host computer and a peripheral USB based device.
