Thank you for purchasing the ex•tend•it USB•400 Series. The new USB•400
incorporates ExtremeUSB™ technology, which allows users the benefits of USB
technology beyond the desktop. Extending your USB peripherals (i.e. computer
keyboard, mouse or trackball) up to 330 feet away from the location of your Macintosh
or PC computer are done easily with the USB•400.
The USB•400 system consists of two units. The USB•400S sender resides next to
the host computer, and the USB•400R receiver is linked to the sender via Category-5
(CAT-5) cable and resides at the desired location away from the computer.
The USB•400 signal is sent between the sender and receiver controls USB
peripherals by buffering the USB signal through send and receive line drivers. The
signal is extended by using standard Category 5 (CAT-5) cabling.
You can connect additional USB•400 systems to the same computer, allowing you to
access the computer from multiple locations up to 330 feet apart.
