| The
USB Rover™ 1300 is designed for end user applications.
It provides all the flexibility of extended range USB
in a ready-to-use package. The USB Rover 1300 is optimized
for applications where a single full-speed device, such
as a webcam or printer, must be operated remotely.
Icron's® Rover products operate over standard Cat
5 cable (the same wiring used in Ethernet). The
technology behind the product, ExtremeUSB®, requires
no additional software for either the computer or the
target devices.
USB Rover products are composed of two separate units:
the Local Extender (LEX) and the Remote Extender (REX).
Conventional USB cables are used to connect the LEX
unit to the host computer and to connect the remote
USB device to the REX unit. Cat 5 cabling is used
to connect the LEX and REX units over a distance of
up to 100 m/328 ft.
The USB Rover 1300 is powered from USB and delivers
enough power at the remote unit to drive most USB webcams.
