The Icron USB Rover 1300 is a 1 Port USB Extender which provides all the
flexibility of extended range USB in a ready-to-use package. The Rover 1300
provides extension for a single Full-Speed USB device connection, such as a
webcam, printer, scanner, CD/DVD drive, Hardrive, or Flash drive. This USB
extender does not support Low-Speed device connections such as USB keyboards or
mice, and it does not support USB hub connections to the remote end.
Icron's Rover products operate over standard Category 5 UTP cable (the same
wiring used in Ethernet). The technology behind this USB extender 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. Category 5 UTP 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.
