LINDY 50m USB 1.1 Cat.5 Extender

LINDY 50m USB 1.1 Cat.5 Extender product

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Cat.5 USB Extender. This product has been designed to provide trouble free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a Lindy 2 year warranty and free lifetime technical support. To ensure correct use, please read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
This USB Extender can be used to extend the distance between a USB device and a host computer by up to 50m. It consists of a local unit with USB Type A connector (host computer side) and a remote unit (device side) with built in USB Type A female connector. A standard Cat. 5 network cable (UTP or STP) up to 50m length is used to connect the two units (not included)
For certain USB Low Speed devices like USB mice it may be possible to extend the distance even further to 100m. This will depend very much on the device connected, as this extended distance may not be guaranteed. In most cases USB 1.1 Full Speed data transfer (12Mbps) will not work over extended distances but is guaranteed to work up to 50m.

Recycling Information

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), Recycling of Electronic Products
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter the recycling process. Each individual EU member state, as well as the UK, has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.
