The Gefen USB-400FO
This new USB Extender supports all USB 2.0 devices, extending to 1640 feet
(500 meters) away from the USB source. The receiver end is also a four USB
2.0 hub.
By using fi ber optic cables, the new USB-400FO extends a long distance from
the location of a computer. It provides an EMI interference-free solution for using
USB at remote locations.
How It Works
The USB-400FO sender unit is connected to the source using the supplied USB
short cable. The USB peripheral(s) are connected to the receiver unit at the
remote end. Two LC-terminated multimode fi ber optic cables are used to link the
sender to the receiver. The Receiver unit must be powered by a 5V DC power
supply. The Sender unit is powered by the USB bus.
Applications
The USB-400FO is invaluable for applications where complete control of devices
is necessary when using USB when placing in restricted areas, such as medical
facilities and oil rigs. The USB-400FO will connect with any USB-compliant
peripheral in all operating systems supporting USB 2.0.
