It supports extending USB devices across multiple floors or locations by resetting the maximum extension distance at each network switch (100m intervals). The extender supports USB 2.0 peripherals with data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps, offering low latency suitable for isochronous devices like webcams and microphones. It is compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, providing up to 600mA of power per port, and functions as a USB over Ethernet hub. Designed for business or industrial applications, it features a rugged metal enclosure with wall-mounting brackets and offers simple plug-and-play installation without requiring software or drivers. StarTech.com ensures product quality through rigorous testing and provides technical support. The product is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
