USB Ethernet Adapter
Introduction
Accton’s USB family of products offers a convenient and
cost-effective means of bringing straight-forward peripheral
connectivity to the desktop based on the Universal Serial Bus
(USB). These products feature true plug-and-play connection
of PC peripherals “outside the box” and mark a significant
advance in desktop cable management. Using a USB Ethernet
adapter, USB hub, USB serial converter, and other products
under development, you can simplify PC connections in the
home, office or on the road.
The Universal Serial Bus is designed to replace the current
serial, parallel, and other port types used on a PC with a single
universal interface. Many types of devices can be plugged
into a single PC USB interface. However, conventional devices
without a USB interface require a USB converter. And to
attach more than one device, you will also need a USB hub
such as Accton’s USB204A.
USB uses a unique cable and connector system. The "upstream"
side of the cable (“A” side) connects to a USB hub or PC; and
the "downstream" side (“B” side) connects to USB devices or
to another hub's B side. The USB220-EC Ethernet Adapter has
a "B" side connector on one side and an RJ-45 Ethernet
connector (10BASE-T) on the other side. This USB Ethernet
Adapter allows you to connect to a 10BASE-T LAN (10 Mbps)
using the new USB interface.
The ports on the USB220-EC are shown below:
