Universal Serial Bus (USB) is convenient and inexpensive, and it has become a very popular interface in newer PCs. But USB has a 15-foot (4.6-m) limit, which hampers its usefulness. Now there’s an answer—the USB X-Tender enables you to extend USB up to 1000 feet (304.8 m) over ordinary, inexpensive CAT5 cable.

The USB X-Tender is compatible with all kinds of USB peripherals, including low-speed and full-speed devices, such as hubs and printers.

The USB X-Tender comes with a local and a remote module. Connect the modules with a single CAT5 cable up to 1000 feet in length. Because each USB X-Tender module pair provides two USB connections over a single CAT5 cable, you can connect two USB devices (low- or full-speed) without using a hub.

In fact, you can extend low-speed (1.5-Mbps) device connections up to 1000 feet (304.8 m). However, full-speed (12-Mbps) devices are restricted to 150 feet (45.7 m), which is still 10 times the normal USB limit.

So break through that 15-meter barrier and use USB for long-distance applications!
