Being part of an ExtremeUSB(R) USB 2.0 extension solution, this remotely powerable extender can be used to attach USB devices and transmit their data over the LAN or directly towards any AV device that functions as a compatible host side extender.
Extend USB 2.0 Connections up
It is not uncommon that the distance between a USB 2.0 device and a host is more than 5 meters. In such cases, a direct USB cable cannot be used to connect them reliably. With the help of this device side extender, USB 2.0 extension solutions can be built that make use of CAT5e/6/7 cables up to 100 meters. Both LAN and direct cable infrastructures are supported.
Another challenging situation where these extenders can be of help is when USB 2.0 devices from multiple locations need to be connected to a single host at the same time. Using a LAN infrastructure, up to 7 of these device-side extenders can be paired to a compatible host side extender.
A USB device may be used by a host at a given point of time, and another host may want to use the same USB device somewhat later. The device side extender under discussion meets the above need because it can be paired to any compatible host side extender which is also present on the same LAN.
This product focuses solely on USB 2.0 extension and therefore it is a cost-effective product in its category.
As compared to the USB20-1GBE-DS4 extender, this device side extender can also remotely be powered using PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).
