How the USB 1.1 Line Extender Works, USB 1.1 Network Cable Extension for Long Range USB Cable
The line extender unit consists
of a transmitter unit (end with cable) and a receiver unit. You'll
need a standard Category-5 Network cable
to connect
the two units together. The patented ASIC's
(Application Specific Integrated Circuits)
are used
to process and repeat USB signals to interpret
the data being passed. The transmitter and receiver
units can be used separately so
user's can
customize
cables
of any length,
up to
150 feet. Click
here for a tutorial for custom
cable lengths made with standard
Category-5 network cable and RJ-45 connectors.

Testing the USB 1.1 Line Extender (Usb Extension Cable long range via cat 5 network cable)
The USB 1.1 Line Extender in use with a usb
mouse. In testing, a 50 ft. rj45 patch cables was used. As seen to the
left, the rj45 in conjunction with the usb 1.1 line extender still allows
for self powering usb devices.
As seen on the left, the transmitter unit of the USB
1.1 Line Extender is connected to the PC or laptop and the rj45 patch cable
is run
between
the
rj45 receptacle and the remote unit.
A USB
Hub was also used to test bandwidth capabilities.
This particular usb hub is a 4 port usb hub that can be self powered or
optional ac adapter can be used. In this case, self power was used as seen
in images to the left and below. Because the hub is usb 1.1 compatible,
it could be used in the testing.
To test out the usb
hub both the mouse seen here and
a digital camera were used. Why the camera and the mouse? The mouse alone
takes up little band width and is used in everyday operation, the digital
camera uses more bandwidth in operations such as image transfer to the
computer. The results were excellent and there were no errors while transfer
was occurring.
As stated the results were excellent. To see the results
of this part of the test, please refer to the flash
movie that was recorded
while testing, the movie will redirect you back to this page when finished.
Note: Not all ports on the usb
4 port hub were tested at the same time. The test in particular was to determine
if multiple usb devices could be
run from the single usb 1.1 line extender without disturbing usb signals
being transmitted.

USB 1.1 Line Extender Testimonial
This product is very useful for usb devices that need to be used
away from their PC source. One example may be a one man presentation
in an auditorium where the full 150 ft. may have to be used to operate
a computer on the back cubical. Another may
be a small office presentation where a mouse is need on the end of
the conference table. How about printing documents in one office to
the printer 2 offices down the hall. The USB 1.1 Line Extender is small,
very light
weight, and portable. Being
portable
is key for
the
business
persons
busy schedule. No drivers needed as the USB 1.1 Line Extender is a
plug and play device and is self powered.
This is definitely a way to go product for extending the area of use
with usb 1.1 devices. You no longer need to be restricted to a 4 to
5 foot area of operation, this also adds location options to your PC
set up.
