The USB Rover® 2650 targets low-cost commercial end user applications. These solutions provide all the flexibility of extended range USB in a ready-to-use package. The USB Rover® is optimized for applications where two devices, such as a keyboard and mouse, must be operated remotely.

USB Rover® products operate over standard solid core Cat 5 UTP cable (the same wiring used in Ethernet) and require no additional software for either the computer or the target devices.

The USB Rover® 2650 is 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 UTP cabling is used to connect the LEX and REX units over a distance of up to 50m/164ft.

The USB Rover® 2650 is powered from USB and delivers enough power at the remote unit to drive most USB devices.
