The extender is a kit that includes a sender unit and a receiver with two locking power cables. The sender unit connects to a computer through a USB 2.0 cable, while the receiver connects to accessories and control apparatuses using multiple USB 2.0 cable connections. The sender and receiver are designed to network over CAT-5 cable. Dimensions of the sender and receiver are identical: 5.75" x 1.25" x 2.5".
The USB 2.0 Long Range 4-Port Extender supports connection speeds up to 480 Mbps and offers backward compatibility with USB 1.1-based equipment.
The extender is currently available in black or cream and ships for $649.
