The USB standard calls for a maximum range of 5 meters, but you can extend this useful protocol up to 100 meters (330 feet) over standard UTP cabling and up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on fiber using these devices. They are fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification and deliver all of the benefits of USB, including remote device powering, Plug-and-play operation, and cross-platform flexibility. Complete with power supplies and 1 meter USB cable when required. User provides Category 5 and fiber optic cables, except for UEF10M.

Ulinx™ USB extenders are composed of two separate units, the local extender and the remote extender. Models UEC50M, UEC100M/4, and U2EC50M use Category 5 UTP cabling to connect the extender units. UEC50M requires no external power. UEC100M/4 provides 4 ports on a built-in hub. U2EC50M extender supports USB 2.0 peripheral devices at speeds up to 480 Mbps over a distance of 50 meters (164 feet).
