FEATURES
Our Remote Port USB 2.0→CAT5 Extender (IC247A) enables you
to extend USB 2.0 and 1.1 connections up to 50 meters (164 ft.) from
your workstation over CAT5 UTP cable. That makes it great for
extension applications using Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices like CD/DVD
burners, scanners, and digital cameras. In addition, it supports full-
speed USB 1.1 devices like disk drives as well as low-speed 1.1 devices
such as joysticks.
For flexibility, you can use the extender’s local or remote unit
to connect up to four standard USB hubs—in any order—in a single
chain. The extender is truly plug-and-play and compatible with
Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
, and Sun

operating systems.
Power is supplied to the local and remote units via wallmount
adapters. USB devices attached to the remote unit receive 500 mA
of power.
Connect up to four USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices up to 50 meters
(164 ft.) with the USB 2.0
→CAT5 4-Port Extender (IC248A).
You can also increase the number of devices by using standard
USB hubs on either the local or remote unit.
Power is supplied to the local and remote units via 110-VAC
wallmount adapters. A maximum of 4 x 500-mA power is available
to USB devices connected to the remote unit.
